I have an AS/400 in my trunk...

I was really busy over Thanksgiving, and then I got really sick, I'm just recovering today, so I haven't had much time to do any tinkering with computers. I just got home a few minutes ago, and the back end of my car is sagging from the weight of an IBM AS/400 Model 9404. It's very heavy, and I can't lift it alone, so it's going to have to stay there until I can get a friend to help me lift it out and get it into the house, but I have the panels, tape drive and battery backup unit inside (I took them out to make it lighter and easier to load). Unfortunately, the machine is missing it's hard drives, as well as their carriers. It does, however, have a tape drive installed, and seems to have it's full compliment of boards. I can't wait to play with it :). It's not like I need another project, and I really don't have space for it at the moment, but I couldn't pass it up. I can always use it as a nightstand/space heater... Anyway, anyone know anything about this beast? I've only done a little googleing, which hasn't turned up any information on the hardware. I need to find at least one drive carrier, and an operating system for it. Does Linux run well (if at all) on the AS/400? Like I said, I haven't done much research yet, I'm just trying to see if anyone has had any experience with this thing. It's an interesting (and heavy) piece of hardware. It will be fun to get running, provided I can find the time. Ian Primus ian_primus(a)yahoo.com
