Enrique,

I don't have a plave for you to get them but just a comment. Unless
you are planning to roll your own operating system for the AS/400
(Yes, 2 or 3 people have done this) you will need about 250 to 300M
for the operating system and support programs/files. Or did you mean
330M on top of the base DASD configuration?

If all 6 terminals are going to be active at the same time you are
looking at a C20 (the big 9404 system) or a C30 (the smallest 9406.)
Just beware of using smaller machines the response time will suck with
6 users on a B10 of C10.

Why do you not want to get a new one from IBM? It can be leased over 5
years through IBM Credit corp. And since you are from UCSD IBM can (I
believe) work out a deal since UCSD is an educational organization.

If you are interested in more info drop me a line and I will see what
I can do to help out.
