I have a friend who has an older AS/400 in his personal collection of
computers. (It is in the collection because the AS/400 is unique enough
to be interesting.) He doesn't know a lot about it but he did manage to
get a console, wire it correctly, and get to the OS/400 command line.
To do anything remotely interesting with the machine he needs to have a
development environment. I am figuring green screen COBOL, C and RPG
are good enough. Does anybody know how to engage IBM to find out if
license keys are available for home/hobbyist use? (Other manufacturers
like DEC did this for their 'bigger' iron.)

PS: I work for IBM and I have code in every release of the AS/400 from
V3R6 on up, and even I don't know where to go for this one ...
