William,

If you're not developing anything that requires access to the hardware or
high security authorization, you might be able to use one of the timesharing
systems such as netshare400.com. I am not affiliated with them except as a
customer. 

Some of the stuff on eBay could be a good deal if you're not worried about
using the latest OS/400 or tools.

Hi All,

What would be a good development platform 
configuration for less than 5 programmers?  I'm 
not a hardware-type of guy, so I really don't 
know where to start when configuring a system.

I know that I would need RPG/ILE/SQL/Java and 
such.  I also would be using PCs for 
workstations and I would attempt to avoid the 
interactive subsystem for all products.

What is a decent config?  And how much should I 
expect to pay?  Latest technology is 
unnecessary - just a box do connect to, develop 
software, compile and test.

Feel free to contact me directly if this is off-
topic.

TIA,

William
