I was referred by Jon Johnston at http://www.hpmuseum.net/. he had mentioned this group
would be able to assist in sourcing complete AS400 servers with CRTs to some collectors
that maybe interested. I would like a museum to have them for their collection or a
collector that would use them as functional servers. You can contact me via e-mail or cell
760-703-0986
Thanks for your time

Hi Matthew,
I'm located in Melbourne also and would be interested in these systems.
I've sent an email to the address listed on the HP Museum website already, I
thought I'd let you know as a courtesy.
Thanks very much for the notice - Evan

I think there are about 4 or 5 die-hard AS/400s fans in Australia, at
least based on bids against AS/400s on eBay and a few chance
encounters.
AS/400s on eBay seems to have dried up in the last 12-months, for a
while we were seeing a couple every few months, but none for a long
time now.
They're one of the least hobbyist-friendly machines you can find so
perhaps not that surprising they're in so few collectors' hands.

Things may change. There are some talks going on with IBM high level managers -current ceo
involved- to create an hobbyist program (at least for old boxes).. found out by chance on
usenet.
Cross fingers...
