Doh, should have included these photos.

I'm sure you all will enjoy them. And yes he got those HUGE DASDs
as-well, can't wait to hear one of those spin up :)
Ignore the photos of the guts of the 4341, I was tasked with taking the
section of power-supply off the main CPU cabinet so it would fit on the
lift gate of the truck and thus took some photos to remember where
everything went.
So I can't say I haven't been in the guts of a mainframe prior to the
z890 :P
Also I am actually going back to that place this Saturday to get the
raised floor because free raised floor is nice :)

Heh I am going to reply because it doesn't pertain to my system.
Although its not running any longer I knew of an s/390 that ran up
until a couple of months ago and before that the company was running a
4341 (aka s/370) until 1999 when they upgraded to the s/390 because of
Y2K (because IBM pushed them too even though they released Y2K patches
for the software on the s/370 a month or two later...)
If IBM didn't push them to move to the s/390 they would have probably
been running that s/370 up until a couple of months ago.
Both of those systems are now at a museum run by a friend of mine.
That s/370 will run again someday, the s/390 he's been playing with.

Is anyone running on real hardware that's older than a z9? Off-list
replies would be fine-not trying to embarrass anyone, trying to
figure out whether there's any real work taking place on such ancient
iron. Connor, you don't need to reply :)
