I used one on my first job 30 years ago. The IBM engineer came to upgrade the hard disk (DASD) and he came with only a vacuum cleaner. He opened it up, cleaned out all the dust, toggled a few DIP switches and the upgrade was done.

They're great machines. I did a lot of software development for a number of years on those machines early in my IT career.

That’s an amazing machine there. I sure would love to come across something like that. I don’t where I’d put it, but I would definitely keep it! I love these business computers.

I found one at work and turned it on as well, except the power button didn't turn it off again. Tried hitting the "LOAD" button and the noise got way louder. Pooped my pants a little.
