First: I did not forget the terminals I announced some time ago.
Actually I?m looking for a cheap way to ship them to the fellows who
were interested. As I am quite busy at work at the moment, this will
take some time ? please excuse that.
My main question(s) ? I hope it?s ?on-topic?:
I obtained a nice IBM AS/400 9404 System. It was cheap and is in nice
condition, so I could not resist. It consists of two huge
enclosurements. One (I?ll call it the left one) is loaded with 3 or 4
nice and big harddisks. The second one contains the logic-boards, three
harddisks, an 8 inch diskette and a tape drive. Both boxes have some
batteries built in. The two boxes are interconnected with 3 cables. In
the right box some options(?) are installed:
Fist slot (left): Nr. 2700
Second slot (from the upper position to the lowest): ??? (looks like
the following
), 6151, 6136. Underneath the small modules I can read
2615.
3rd slot: 3120
4th slot: 2533
It?d be nice if you cold help me out a bit with these numbers. I could
not really find out what these are. Could somebody please identify
them?
I also got a 3197 terminal, twinax expansion boxes (2x 4 ports) and
some cables with the machine. My first question: How do I connect the
terminal correctly? I assume it plugs into port 0 for system console.
Are the cables critical, could I use cat 5? I have not enough
connectors
I?d be happy if anyone could supply some cheap connectors
(male) and Infos about the twinax cabling sheme, especially how the
pinout of the connectors and how I have to connect the console
terminal
I have no docs for the machine, but it should be loaded with an OS.
When I turn it on it seems to IPL. Is there any Info available online?
I think, I need some information about the OS too (at the back of the
machine I can read ?Release Level 2? on a sticker. Somebody told me the
OS-License is tied to the machine? If so, could someone provide me some
backup copies of the system disks?
I know most people would throw these machines out, but I want to keep
it as it is one of the earlier AS/400 systems.
I could make pictures if anyone needs it.
Thank you for any information,
Best regards,
Wolfgang

Hello Everyone,
I am searching for an AT&T Gemini whiteboard. This forum has proven
to be a great place for information on them in the past, so I am
hoping that someone out there has one (or knows where I might find
one).
Thank you!

Hi
I'm looking for a spec sheet on a 8308. I think it
is part of the older National Semi series DM8308.
It might be a 8303 ( the schematic is not to clear ).
I think it is an inverting 8 channel bus tranceiver.
I need information on which way the drivers go with
the direction control and is the enable true or false.
Of course, a spec sheet would be great. Also, I
could use one of these IC's as well but I'm prepared
to make one with a couple of 74LS242's. I just
need a little more info.

Greetings.
I saw from an old post back in Aug 21, 2003 that you had a
bunch of IRIX CDs and other SGI stuff. Do you still have the
media left, the manuals or Pipeline magazines? Thanks.

Hi,
I am looking for 3 or 4 half-height (5,25") front panels,
black with white/yellowish border to close some gaps in
the front of my H960 racks.
I offer a trade of *two* full-height (10.5") panels for
*one* 5.25" panel.

Does anyone have any spare rack mounting rail sets for a DEC RL02 or RL01 drive? I need two or three sets to mount some of my drives in a rack.
Thanks,
Ashley
