Re: Help Identify Old AS/400 !!!

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Cyndi,

  Sounds like a E or F model.  How many rows of LED's are on the
operator panel? 2 Rows="D", 3 Rows="E", 4 Rows="F".  If all was in one
cabinet it's likely a model 35 or 45.

  The 2165 3142 and 2593 features will likely nail it down but that'll
take paper copies of manuals I have only in my office!  Maybe someone
else has old AS/400 Handbooks at the ready?

  Hope this helps.
