RE: Old vs New AS/400

Buying an old AS400 running V2R1 would maybe have some practical single

but think of it as running PC 286 at 12 MHZ. instead of one at 400 MHZ.  I
have started working on the Risc machines about 6 months ago and am still
amazed how fast they can get the job done.

That version of OS/400 is not Y2K compliant either!
