S/36 5363 Help..

[Lucas Haag <lhaag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody in AS/400 land.
My name is Lucas Haag i'm currently a sophmore in high school at Republican
Valley High School in rural Red Willow County, Nebraska.  I have recently
aquired from my relations business, Hoxie Implement a CASE IH dealer in
Hoxie Kansas a IBM S/36 5363 along with a PS/2 that has a twin-ax adapter card.

I have the following questions and I realize that S/36 is acient in computer
terms but due to thier similarity to a 400 i hope to maybe learn something
from this beast, i'm sure that there are some people on the list that worked
with these systems in thier glory years.

1.  My first problem is that we cannot find the origional SSP disks or tapes
for the system and certain features were removed for more space that I now
want to add back on.  How do I go about getting replacements and do I want
replacement disks or tapes?

2.  Is there anyway I can get programs that are no longer for sale by IBM
for example DW/36 Querry/36 PersonalServices/36, programming languages and
PCSupport/36 as well as other things like the gaming packs that were
discussed on this list a while ago.

3.  What are the key things I need to keep in mind when working w/ this
system are there any secret tips and hints.

Well thank you to everyboday and I look forward to your replies.  This is
obviously a extremely knowledagable <sp> group and I hope/plan to learn
something from its members..
