Re: Gain login access to old CISC AS/400e

I think, that's the key. Also see Mark's comment about the 65-21-Dance.

Look here for details:

(seems to be the same content)

It seems, that this method does not work on my old AS/400.
A different behavior happens.

Since the system is currently IPLed, I set mode to manual.
In this mode, I only have options up to 31. So, as the docs says, I pushed 25 and after that 26.
Now I have option 65 available. Baiscally as also written in the docs.

First time I push 65, it shows "65 FF". After that, I am going to push 21 and a few seconds later, SRC A6005004 comes up and stays. If I now repeat both steps, 65 shows again "65 FF", but pushing now 21 loads directly DST! And no SRC is shown. If I lookup 11-2, it shows again 0000BBBB, so the old SRC for the battery. I can repeat that forever, a second time 21 with 65 prior pushed loads DST :/ The docs says, that this should not happen.

Cheers
Conrad
