Hi all,

i managed to get an ancient AS/400e. It's a german model 9406-300 and in a pretty good condition and seems to be fully working. Installed OS/400 is also in german language. Also got 8 IBM QIC Tapes, which seems to have OS/400 V2, but I think, the installed OS/400 on the AS/400e is newer, as the login says copyright 1996, the QIC tapes 1992.
just a current quick update. Unfortunately I have bad news. The AS/400 is starting since today to malfunction. After powered on and initiated IPL, it stopped during IPL and falled back into standby, just like, when you initally power on the AS/400. But worse, you could smell some sort of "fishy" (don't know, how to better describe that in english). I now that smell is typically, when caps or something seems to die in terms of electronic. That smell comes back, when IPL is initiated, but does not, if only powered on, but no IPL started. But for now, I leave the AS/400 offline.
I guess, it's time for debugging the hardware, maybe it's repairable. At least I hope so, would be sad, if it died and can't be repaired anymore.
Cheers
Conrad
