At www.ibmlink.ibm.com, the S/34(5340) uses single phase 60Hz at 208V or 230V. None of that annoying 3 phase power. How do you tell the difference between 208v and 230v plugs? >If you really need an antique machine my advice to you would to buy an >old a 5362 that runs on 110 volts.

Or the 5364, which is about the size of a large PC(I think it's inside an AT case), which is a lot easier to find room to setup. Or for newer stuff, older AS/400's are getting cheap. Of course nothing can beat a free S/34 or S/36... As long as you have enough room for it. Meanwhile, I'm stuck with my Series/1. But I hope to be getting an AS/400 and S/36 5364 eventually... -JR http://members.tripod.com/~jrollins/index.html - Computers http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Lair/1681/ - Star Trek +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to "MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com". | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
