RE: Intro AS/400

Will you deliver, or would I have to pick it up? I would prefer to pick it
up. Now I just have to convince my bride.

I have an AS400 I'd love to pass along to a worthy person.
I don't have the numbers with me at the moment, but if you'd contact me
offline I'd be happy to discuss it with you.

It might not make any sense depending on the logistics, but I certainly
have no use for it anymore.

Best wishes

Subject: Intro AS/400

Hello,

I am a bit of an IBM fan and have used most of their product line (PCs,
RS/6000, even 390/z - see my pages: http://ps-2.kev009.com:8081/) for
fun and work. However, I have yet to try an AS/400. I see them come
through the local computer recycler and sell on eBay cheaply enough and
would like to pick one up for home tinkering. The goal is to simply
learn and play with another computing platform.

Tips on what models to look out for would be helpful. Obviously, I
don't need a lot of compute power nor current hardware/software. The
one requirement I do have is to be able to setup/interact with the
system over Ethernet rather than fool with something like Twinax.

I also see the potential problem of finding a system with software,
since I assume it is not cheap to get a hold of os400. Any comments or
suggestions would be appreciated.. as you can tell I am a total newbie
to AS/400s.

Regards,

Kevin
