Hello everyone, First time posting here... I am wondering if anyone knows of someone looking to get rid of a working (preferably) IBM AS/400e 9401-150? For local pickup it would need to be around the Atlanta, GA area in the US. Thanks! -Peter

Hey all, So, being the new owner of a AS/400 9401-150, I am looking for a 2723-9406 LAN card for it. Does anyone have one they wouldn't mind parting with by chance? -Peter

I found that out the hard way recently when I acquired my AS/400 and the 10Mb/s card for it. It did not like talking to my 10/100/1000 switch at all. And of course I had recently gotten rid of my old 10Mb/s hub I had been saving for a couple of decades... Had to resort to eBay for an ancient hub.

I have RSX11M+ 4.6 BL87 installed and running on my real PDP 11/23+ and have gotten DECnet to work as well. But recently a need to access a TU58 tape has come up, and turns out the DD driver on disk isn't built against the correct RSX11M.STB file. So I need to, I guess, recreate the DDDRV.TSK file.
