Unlike some, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with OS400 V1.2. It's got all sorts of original concepts from S/38 CPF that pretty much explain why the AS400 is such a popular machine. You dont need to go out and buy a V4 just yet... You say you get 999 on the console... What does the LCD display on the front say? And the key position etc. If it goes through a whole load of numbers and after 30-40 mins ends up as O1 B or 01 A then you're in luck... anything else (with the System Attention light on) and you have a problem. If you can, try IPLing with the key in NORMAL first because this doesnt *require* the console to be ready. > > When we power it on, we expected it to IPL, but instead, a code of 999 > appears on the operator console. Should I just throw this machine out and > get a newer model from IBM, complete with documentation and up to date > Operating system? Or does this one have any value (training value, that > is). > > 4. Can someone tell me how to IPL this thing? Just to see if it works? > +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MIDRANGE-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
