  Perhaps if "external drive", "AS/400", "purge project" and 
"sufficient space" were more thoroughly defined, readers will have a 
better idea how to respond to give a worthwhile reply to the inquiry, 
possibly even to include alternatives, rather than the readers having to 
followup with effectively useless banter trying to extract the missing 
details or their offering of replies that give no assistance because the 
reader was not clear on the restrictions\requirements with regard to how 
the OP intends those terms to be interpreted.

  I could for example respond that a particular AS/400 model and 
configuration may allow for an external _tape_ drive and a system with 
little more beyond an Ethernet card and TCP/IP configuration could map 
to the storage of another server as an effective\virtual drive, but 
either or both of those options could be moot for whatever are the 
unstated requirements.  For the first option however, I would ask why an 
internal tape drive is not an option; i.e. a request for further 
clarification of the restrictions\requirements.
