Hm... that particular bit I //do// have. Perhaps I should (carefully) see
what's inside.

I despair of ever getting my AS400 working. I have the machine, I have the

I don't have the 25 pin d to 8x twinax connector gizmo (I can supply an IBM
part no). I've had a few offered to me, but they all want very serious
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.

Geoff in Oz Just a question... do they ever get AS/400 stuff?
I need a keyboard and
some cables for a 3151? terminal and the twinax to plug 'em together.
Never. This is Unix and Mac-land.
I do happen to have some twinax baluns from a former tenant of a
shop that my former employer took over. They previous guys had an AS/400
and terminals on peoples' desks. The best computer in the place was a
486 tower, in 2000! They were in the forklift business - this was some
sort of documentation center for the company.
