AS/400 9404 and TWINAX questions...

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 ===== ==================================================== Ing.
