My guess is it is an AS/400 and he had a typo. Probably meant 1980s which would also jive with 30 years ago (AS/400 was introduced in 1988). -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of r.stricklin Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2014 7:09 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only Subject: Re: IBM AS 400 for sale in Ontario, California On Sep 4, 2014, at 12:13 PM, steven stengel wrote: I wonder what he's actually selling, because it can't be both "1970's vintage" and an "IBM AS 400". If it's an AS/400 it _must_ be newer than when it was supposedly put into storage.
