Re: New to AS/400, Please help

Meanwhile I managed to get a terminal and "brick" and cables so I was
able to access the machine. It's working fine without problems and
there is an V4R5 OS installed, which is not the latest, but so far I am
fine with it. So, the next months I can go further to explore the
machine ...

Thank you for your kind support, especially to Mark Waterbury, Yvan and
Alexandre. Great international work :)

Best regards,
Michael

Did V4R5 run on 270's? Wasn't V4 "pre key" days and V5R1 the first
one which enforced keys?

You are correct that V5R4 is the last release to run on a 270.

Since it is no longer supported, how does one go about getting
keys? I'm asking because I have an old 270 collecting dust due to
a lack of keys. I got tired of reinstalling everything every 70ish
days and powered it off.

So would I. I think i5/OS V5R4 was the last OS version supported
on a 9406-270. :-)
