Re: [PLUG] OT- AS/400


Great input, thanks everyone. I think I'll tool around with the native OS for 
a while. depending on how much info I can scrounge on how it works, until I 
get bored. then I'll see if I can yank any components. If not, I'll likely 
want to get rid of it - especially since my wife won't be too keen on giving 
up her parking spot in the garage for very long;^)

As for the OS, I think it will still have the current OS on it. The company 
that is giving it to me got a new one, with the most current OS. So I should 
be able to get it to boot, at least.

Please keep the info coming.
