Those are definitely H960. the front rack has a big tape drive. a quick google reveals that Atex made newspaper publishing tools with PDP-11 https://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/minicomputers/11/366/1944 There is potential for goodies in there. Cindy, where you askin "who bought this?" or "who wants to buy this?" /P

There once was a port of Unix to the Series/1. Long story but the Unix center of competency for IBM was first at Boca Raton (with Series/1 as the platform). At the time AT offered to sell IBM the full rights to Unix and AT would get out of the Unix biz. Then there was a political battle between Boca Raton and Austin. Boca lost and the rest as they say is history. As part of that *all* (as in every shred of) Unix for the Series/1 was destroyed (with IBM security looking on to make sure nothing was missed).

I think I see an H960 with a couple DEC half panels stuck on it peeking out of the very back there...

RE: IBM in TX
You guys decide what looks interesting and what you want to pay for it. The Series/1 is already claimed, but there is another big beast, not in the pic. Somebody make a spreadsheet or something. I am willing to go to Houston, and I have a friend from Austin with a truck and trailer that will help out, but I have no room to store stuff. I can't post to this chat from anything but the office computer for some reason, so I won't be able to post pics of what is there when I go. How do I fix this?

RE: IBM in TX
Looks like the "Mainframe" is an IBM Series/1 which is not a Mainframe, and I would say has limited appeal to collectors as there are few resources out there as the software is all fully licenced so its had to make legal copies.
