You can'read the disks elsewhere: you can only image them with sg_utils. Sector formatting is not 512 and they are grouped in pools by OS/400. How many disks you have? Main pool has not been wiped, may be more than one disk...

So they changed the default sec officer pwd (root in *nix). You have to boot in manual mode B M (not B N) and cross your fingers that DST pwd is still QSECOFR/QSECOFR. Then there's a way to reset the QSECOFR pwd.

Well... AS/400 scsi drives are recognized by the string IBM AS/400, during the inquiry phase. They can be used in a standard PC, if reformatted at 512 bytes/sector, since OS/400 use 520 bytes/sector. If they come unformatted or degaussed, you can reformat it at 520 under a *nix system with sg_ut
