I don't have the 25 pin d to 8x twinax connector

money for it. Considering I paid $25AU for the lot I'm not that interested
in shelling out a couple of hundred for the terminal interface box and
cable.
A couple of hundred for the workstation adapter cable is nothing compared
to the cost of $26,000 IBM quoted me, to license OS/400 for mine.
Word of warning for the rest of you, the conventional wisdom that states
RISC AS/400 = V4 = transferrable OS isn't entirely true. _Some_ RISC
AS/400s did run a late release of V3. Licenses for OS/400 V3 are not
transferrable, whether for RISC or CISC.
