AS/400s in the Champaign area

Is this the black or beige series of AS/400? There should be the telltale
IBM data tage that has something in the order of 9406-XXX (the XXX is the
model variant, explaing the options from the factory, and consequently the
processor type and number). There are different sizes/models within the 9406
line, and that dash number will tell a lot about it. There are models like
170, 250, 730, 740, etc. I don't know a hell of a lot about the older beige
units but I think they are for OS/390 instead of OS/400 anyway.

=> Ok guys, it seems I messed up in the last message. I've just
=> found something that says that the "9406" on this machine --
=> "machine type" as they call it -- really doesn't tell you a
=> thing about the CPU being RISC or CISC.
=>
=> So I give up, how _do_ you tell? :)
