Re: 9404 on eBay

I saw this 9404 on eBay. Seller says "never been used" then "works perfectly".

Is there ANY value to this thing?

Details on the configuration are sketchy, at best.

Wouldn't there be quite a few issues attempting to use this?

Hard to tell, but my guess is it's a C, D or E series model (C10,C20,C25,D10,D20,D25,E10,E20,E25). Many of these old systems did not have network cards.

There's a good chance it won't IPL and even if it did, it's likely to go into "needs a system password" mode.

Unless you are starting an AS/400 museum, this is junk. They should be paying you to haul it away.
