I don?t have the time for this beast right now and it has to make room
for my Rackmount Onyx anyway, so...
I have an CISC AS/400 9406 something to give away, I do not know which
exact model, this was printed on the rack which I didn?t take due to
weight reasons (boy these AS/400 rackmount enclosures are _heavy_... we
needed four people just to move one _empty_ rack. They put in some really
thick lead plates in 'em so there was no chance a rack could tilt wherever
you put your stuff). Maybe someone recognizes the model from the pics
below. It comes with two #9336 disk modules, one 8" floppy drive #9331,
one Infowindow Terminal, several SCSI cables, a little bit Twinax stuff as
well as one meter of mixed documentation and then some more. I also have
the keys for the machine. No system console though, but I guess this ain?t
a big problem. No part numbers are printed on the two CPU modules. There
may be the option to get an AS/400 9 track (? - big, heavy, I can make a
photo if someone?s interested and it is still available) drive with it,
too. Now for the bad news: Neither is OS/400 included nor is it
installed. The disks have been completely wiped before disassembly. The
company I got this from is still searching for the original media, but I
doubt they still have them and so do they. The machine was in perfect
working order before disassembly last year and has been carefully
transported to my home, but of course, no warranty included. So, if you
don?t have access to OS/400 for such a machine (legal aspects aside ;-)
this thing is going to be your new boat anchor. Anyway, I don?t want to
put this thing on ebay, or worse, into the dumpster. Hopefully there?s
someone who has more use for this than me right now. Of course, it?s
free for local pickup (only!) - the machine is located in Bochum /
Germany. If interested, contact me at andreas_at_pisec.de - I will gladly
answer any question as far as I can, but please bear in mind that my
experience with AS/400 stuff is very limited. Ah yes, I will only give
this away complete.

The S/36 next to the beast stays here ;)
BTW: I?m still looking for one of these top plastic parts (with the
nifty Motorola logo on it) for my Motorola MVME197LE, an SGI Indy power
supply (this one badly!) and 8" SSP disks for my 5362 S/36. Anyone?
Best
Andreas
