Hi Patrik,
I have a P01.
It was purchased for taking to trade shows and conferences to
demonstrate our software.
It was excellent for that and ran all the licensed programs so any
development was possible.
It was twinax and from memory would support one string of twinax
devices, we used to have to terminals and a printer at a demo.
(Sometimes left the printer behind, it was heavier than th
Still sits in it's carry case under a desk in the office, albeit it
has not been powered u in many a year and the only twinax terminal
that remains is a bit dodgy.
Cheers
Don

As Patrik points out his system is the last try at it.
Thank you. But… not exactly the last. Allow me to kindly remind about
the model 150, which is newer and although much bigger than a P03 but
still comparatively small. According to what I've read online, it was
meant as a system for either developers, or a low-end production
machine. The OS not requiring lickeys provenly for at least V4R5
(probably earlier) was allegedly the result of massive outcry from
customers needing a development system while IBM wanted fully charge fees for the OS in the beginning.
A 150 is obviously not as portable as a P03, though. To my knowledge,
the latter was meant as a demonstration system to convince a possible
customer's management that buying an AS/400 is the best thing since
sliced bread. :-)
:wq! PoC
