I have a few parts from a computer made by IBM. The IBM XT/370 was a standard XT computer with a pair of cards with a 370 co-processor on it. The computer could run 370 programs and was used for 370 program development.
I have the cover with the "Personal Computer XT/370" tag on it. I also have the two 370 processor cards. If I had a complete IBM XT I could make a complete computer but I have no software.
The 370 processor was a special Motorola 68000 that had special pico code to execute 370 instructions. The 68000 had internal pico code that was modified for IBM to make these co processor cards.
The cards were code named Washington cards.
I would be willing to sell these items to a person or place that would keep them in a better place than I have. The best place would be a museum.
IBM may have also made an AT/370 but I am not sure, in any case the cards I have have the short XT plugs.
Does anyone have diskettes or manuals for this system?
