Many of us have seen Connor Krukosky's talk, detailing his experience in
transporting and operating a z890 mainframe, but not only has mainframe hardware
advanced and changed significantly since this talk, but many students and
mainframers are looking for more information on the steps involved in acquiring
a mainframe for personal use. This talk will detail my experiences with
acquiring and setting up a mainframe for learning and experimental use, and
advice for future students or hobbyists looking to do the same. We will cover
everything from sourcing and validating a machine, to installing an operating
system and software. - Enzo Damato, High school student
