Buy As400
I just inherited a 170 from my office. I will try to answer a few of your questions..170-2290 with v5r2 lic should run you around $600. That has 16gb disk, 128mb memory.You might want to look at a 9401-150. Those can be found for less than $1000 with v4r5 and most if not all lic. pgms. This is the last version on the 150 that requires no key.1. Yes, you can purchase from IBM. Not sure on the cost.2. The seller should supply you with the lic key. I don't think IBM charges for a transfer (someone correct me if I am wrong).3. Minimum memory for V5R2 would probably be 128mb. Look around for IBM feature 3002 (these are 128mb memory chips). I just purchased 4 sticks (512mb total) for $56.00. They should be installed in pairs.4. TCP/IP is 5769-TC1. There is a charge...not sure how much.5. Twinax terminals are cheap...they can be found for $25.00. Make sure your 170 has feature 2722 and comes with a twinax brick. You need this for system console. Or you can get another feature (forget the code for it) that will allow you to connect the as400 to your PC as system console through PC Serial Port. IBM terminals are my favorite.6. 170/270 are older, 8xx are somewhat newer, newest are the i5/5xx. Don't get this confused with earlier 500 models.7. I think you are correct.8. Ethernet card for 170 would be IBM 2838. This is a 10/100mb card. Can be found for $40.9. 8gb minimum. Depends on what software you install. I have 16gig and after updating to v5r2 and installing most lic pgms, I was using 65% of storage.10. Yes, it will support RAID. I can't remember the feature number.11. Not sure, I am not a systems guy.12. Compilers ... only IBM (again, someone correct me if I am wrong). Some brokers will from time to time have POE's available for sale. They are usually about half the cost of buying the LPP direct from IBM or a business partner.13. Most 170's will come with a tape backup unit. They are usually a 4/8 gig QIC tape drive. Media costs will run $20 for a single tape. I would back up the system to tape. Then the user libraries I will save to a save file and then download to a PC.14. Don't know the pricing information for software upgrades.Hope this helps just a little.Ken"Dan Foster" wrote in message news:slrndohp7n...@zappy.catbert.org...
A quick answer would be that it depends on how long your mac-address-aging time is. This is as far as your layer-2 config. THis coupled with the delay in the as400 taking/releasing the primary role.
I'm a fan of the mainframe world, I've always played with a mainframe emulated by Hercules, yesterday I had the opportunity to buy a used as400, I got all the cables and etc.Now I need to know how to access the mainframe with terminal... 781b155fdc
