Even further back was the portable AS/400 model P01. The first one I
ever saw was at COMMON in New Orleans (1993?), and I remember it
having a clear plexiglass case for those who wanted to see the
internals.

It was hand-carried from Rochester to the conference.

Too bad those never really went anywhere.

In the past, IBM sold the 9401 model 150.

We had a 150 that did some traveling. We bought a used Anvil case for it (I ought to know: I refurbished the case myself, and adapted it to fit a 150); because of that, we called that 150 "the anvil." The nickname might have been a play on the case, but it stuck because a 150 is (1) heavy, and (2) too underpowered to get out of its own way. (I think our D02 and B20 were a good deal peppier on the response time, even as servers for an early version of Wintouch.)

And I remember having to get an authorization key for the D02. More than once.
