Re: What's a 9406-510 worth?

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

1) Don't know.
2) Yes.
3) Timeshares are great (I'm on TS400), but don't give one the opportunity
to learn about operational matters like how to IPL from the front panel,
SAV's, PTF's, etc.
4) No! V4R4 is the minimum I would buy. What I was sort of hoping to do was
sell their machine and buy a 170 if the 510 brought in enough $. Doesn't
sound like it. On the other hand, if they're willing to give it away, and
the disks would work in either a 170 or even a PC, it might be worth the
effort to haul it away.
