ibm.com has used System/390 Integrated Servers and Multiprise 3000s for
sale if you want a small 31-bit test system. Nice fit for VSE. (Yes,
there's a $6,000 mainframe for sale.) But they also have z800s (~350
MIPS) available if you'd like something really nifty (but less capacity so

Yes, you can pay IBM $5,000 to $10,000 dollars to make it an R16, R26,

Hi Listers,
We have an IBM 9672-R56 hardware. Is there any way we can downsize it
to a lower capacity so that we can use it for testing.
We understand that IBM has dropped marketing
I am not sure if it would be worth it, but you could contact a third party
vendor and see if you could trade down. Instead of paying money. you might
be able to get paid for the downgrade. However, since you could probably
buy an R16 or R26 for $ 5,000, the net difference may not pay for the
At that price it would make more sense to do it yourself! How on earth do
IBM arrive at that figure? Or you could buy a used R16 etc. for less money -
try ebay!

If you had the slower
processor and paid to upgrade to the faster, the CE removed a jumper
