reckon maybe that coulda been the "A". before they had an "A-D"? either way, it oughta be an interesting toy for a couple days :) i wonder if it's got a boot post, where you can see the cpu speed, ram, hard drive etc. The upper line of those had a 8" floppy disk stack too

Found a pic of the hard drive of this monster....LOL
i wonder what the diameter is on the platters.
i think you could sell every piece of that if you advertised it
I tore mine out of the unit it was in before thinking about it, scrapped the unit, saved the hdd, but never tried to test
here's some pictures of it

it'll take some time, but you can research part numbers too looking for prices, unless there's only one or two search results, i'll just scroll through the pages looking for a price right in the search results, so many places want you to fill out a form or call for a quote etc, a few places will post a price, and most times i think it'll show up right on the search results pages
I am workin on that I am swamped with work right now gettin ready to tear down another unit
wish i was swamped with work, hek i'd come over there and help ya if i could

Moving back here I made 4 trips, loaded truck and trailer, and it woulda paid me to made another load, but i was gettin tired of travelin. Almost exactly 600 miles one way my door there to my door in here
Sorry I didn't get any pics up today but tommorow I promise....The Ibm 5360 yielded a lot of material including high grade boards, transformers as big as a human head...LOL, lots of wire, and the monster memory drives plus about 500lb of scrap metal....Oh well I did that and three other large machines with the help of dear old dad....Picks tommorow I promise

NOW WTF....LOL I need a buyer for this anyone interested....Just kidding but these things are heavy with the metal chasis and all probably close to 75lbs....Any ideas from the escrap buyers???? Any help would be appreciated, this is a learning experience for me with this machine and I am trying to share with the group
ewasted is paying 45 cents a pound for hard drives without the board. I wonder if that would apply to these monsters :)
I LOVE this forum ! (As if !) Thanks for the beautiful pics Mike. What a nice thread. congrats again.
Thanks for the kind words......This is probably the only one of these computers I might ever get and me and my dad had fun tearing it down last night....Now back to work
The first model of the S/36 was the 5360. Weighing in at 800 pounds, costing (US) $100,000 and more, it was certainly no laptop, and on a good day it might have cranked up to 20 MHz. But in 1983, it was faster than any of the so-called "Personal Computers (PCs)" you could buy. The 5362 was a mere 150 pounds, and at US $20,000, set the pace for corporate computing.
I am having a hard time finding in any info on this.....I was hoping some of the escrap buyers might chime in here
sorry, Mike, i've been missing this thread. I'd consider contacting computer museums, private collectors, just for a display would be cool most anywhere, might be able to name your price, if you'll locate and contact the right person/s
who built that drive? might try contacting them for info on who might be interested in it :)
i'd even suggest current hdd manufacturers for use in a display or advertising
Very cool. I don't think they would fit in any of my buckets!
