AS/400 Interesting upgrade/modification/installation stories

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all,

 Some of us have that creative streak or just can't stand to be told 
'you can't do that!' so off we go to do something that's just not quite 
'according to the book'.  I know I've seen pictures of an AS/400 painted 
with flames and I'm sure others of you have done things like that or 
mounted it in a wall or hit it in a closet meant for 4 pairs of boots 
and a raincoat....  We have created a web site dedicated to just such 
things:   http://www.frankenseries.com   The site runs on AS/400 (V5R2 
Apache) and we're inviting any of you with interesting hardware, 
installation environments, paint jobs etc. to submit your story and pics 
to be posted in the gallery along with Frankie. 
http://www.frankenseries.com/gallery-frankie.html  We'll give you all 
the credit for your 'creation' or installation..   Send stories and 
pictures to kmort@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or drfranken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  
This site is purely for the edification and amusement of the 
community.   Both Dr. Soltis and Malcome Haines have seen and gotten a 
good chuckle from Frankie.  I believe the good Dr. said something like 
"I'm not sure we intended to see that particular configuration in the 
field...."

 Disclaimer:  While Frankie runs perfectly fine (if you accept that an 
SRC code in the front panel is normal) he is a completely NON-SUPPORTED 
configuration. Before you go off doing such extreme things to your 
AS/400 or iSeries consider if you are willing the watch your CE laugh 
and leave when you have a problem!

 Thank you all!
