Last time I went to the surplus electronic shop that I visit. I saw what was labeled as being a System 36. It was basically a really over grown full tower, with a few other peripherals. Did I see the whole unit, or just a small part? Would this be something I could do something with? Does any freeware exist? How about the OS.... is it around, and attainable? What kind of processing horsepower does it have? I didn't really look at it, while I was there. I knew they are the ancestor to the AS400, and the AS400 is sort of a white elephant for the hobbyist.
