    AS/400 9404-E20 V3R2
    AS/400 9401-P03 V3R1
    AS/400 9401-150 V4R4
    AS/400 9406-720 V5R1?
    PS/2 55SX (both dead, floppy drive faults)
    IBM Thinkpads

I have happily collected several AS/400s, have not powered the 720 yet due to the special power cabling requirements (15A mains), and one of the 150s is sick (showing a SRC 00000003 - short in PSU?), the others work well, managed to get Token Ring network between the E20 and the P03.

A friend has a IBM 3430 tape drive off a System/38 and I understand that adding a SPD 2644 to the E20 and some suitable bus/tag/terminator cables between them and it might work.

If anyone has spare bus/tag cables and terminators that are surplus to their needs would be interested in discussing shipping options.

Me too, although I have the VX40 but I think they are identical.

Wrote on the subject of seeking IBM 5215 Selectric printer or IBM 5218 Printwheel at June 25, 2013, 11:37 p.m...
If anyone has either the IBM 5215 or IBM 5218 printer that was commonly used with the IBM 6580 Displaywriter and would like it to go a new home where it will be operated with a DIsplaywriter, I would be interested in discussing further.

A picture of the IBM 5218 can be seen here:

The IBM 5215 uses a variant of the usual IBM Selectric printer:
