A friend of mine from the laser community has AS/400 systems in his basement that he is looking to clear out. He was talking about scrapping the boards, but I said I'd ping some people. "No this not a red stripe.. They are 36" tall units.. the iframe models 1995-1997. I emailed two of the companies they resell them, they said too heavy to ship. So going to pull the boards, and sell for scrap gold unless you have a idea. Going to look at the boards as I pull to sell I have fiber boards for these old things and ram I have a few hundred pounds of fiber trancievers for 10-base-t to 10-base-f that I am going to scrap and 50-60lbs of Dialogic AMX boards. Anyone into this stuff?

Bah. If only I was still in Ohio and not the Bay Area...
Ethan, Where in Ohio is it? Do you have a model number for the machine? Any accessories included? Thanks, Matt Sent from my iPhone

Passed Dave the contact info re: the AS/400 Thanks all! If he declines it, or if there are multiple systems and he doesn't want it all hopefully he can dish out the rare candy. Crazy thing is, I've given away two AS/400s, one CISC one RISC. Never had a chance to play with them. Pic or it didn't happen? https://users.757.org/~ethan/pics/office/15/Image10.jpg - Ethan

If you ever come across any other CISC AS/400s, please let me know, we're very much interested in those. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Odd, but okay!
Why odd? They're a pretty neat, relatively unique architecture of which not TOO many remain. - Dave
