Re: (OT) Where to go for 70s IBM hardware? I'm looking for a terminal.


 

I used to have an IBM 5100, what would you like to know about it? Flip the
front switch to select APL or BASIC, turn it on and start typing. That was
it. BTW you should know that the 5100 and similar equipment is HIGHLY
sought after and brings a very high price, like bring an equal volume of
money if you want to buy one. I sold my 5100 to Eric Smith at
www.brouhaha.com many years ago.

Hi,
Have you tried ClassicCmp?



Seems to be a real hive of info of the sort you're looking for.

Hi all,
sorry for the offtopic message, not sure where to go with this one, so
I
thought the smart heads around here might be connected somewhere. I'm
looking to get a 70s IBM terminal, either for a System/3, /6, /32, /38
(or
contemporary), 3600 FCS, a Display Station (or terminal) for the IBM
32xx,
37xx, 49xx, 52xx, 65xx, or 74xx, or an IBM 5100/5110/5120 portable
computer. I'm interested to see how they were built and would like to see
how it is to use them. If you know any good places to go other than the
website which should not be named, especially any forums that could have
enthusiasts of the same hardware, or if you know someone willing to part
with one such machine, let me know please.

Thanks!
