On Wednesday I got a IBM AS/400 model 9404 for free, it is just the CPU unit
with the front cover missing. It had two keys with it along a 5 1/4 FD and a
tape backup unit installed. I've been trying to get some information about
from IBM's web site but not much luck. Hope to
fire it up soon. John

DON'T LOOSE THE KEYS!!! In fact, you may want to take one of them and
secure it to the chassis. IBM tends to make their keys unique (or close
to unique).
For a front panel, keep looking for one in the junkyards. They probably
would be happy if you took it away!

I was just at a state sale about 3 weeks ago where somebody bought
something like 35 AS/400's in one lot for about $75... I think they
used to have them in all the county extension offices, and must have
replaced them with something else.
