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. -chris On Thursday 11 April 2002 09:52 pm, you wrote: > This is off topic - someone just gave me an AS/400 eServer (about 4 years > old and apparently obsolete).
