Subject: Re: Selling an old IBM AS400/9404
Even if you don't care about having a legitimate OS/400 license, if
you leave the machine powered off for too long, the service processor
will demand a password on startup, which you have to obtain from IBM.
And if you don't have a license, IBM won't give you a password.
This is good to know! I've been wanting an AS/400, but there's no way I'd
ever get around to cracking firmware passwords. Guess I'll have to be a
little picky about which AS/400 I'll take.
