Asunto: Question about AS/400 port / status

Hi folks,

I’m writing from spain, more precisely Valencia… a very sunny place to live
very close to the sea…. Well, after reading the
http://netbsd.org/Ports/#suggested-other web page I’m just wandering the
real state of the BSD in AS/400 systems…, I’ve an old IBM AS/400 9402 E02
(wow…:o) system with a lot of dust but I think it’s working quite good… I
was reading that the performance of the system is very low compared with an
Pentium 100 Mhz… but still thinking that it’s no point to consider this in
this question, I was reading the
http://users.snip.net/~gbooker/AS400/ibm.htm and i realize the difficulties
on the MMU problem about this system and the hardware architecture, but I’ve
done a search in google… about AS/400 and BSD/unix/linux to see the
possibility of running in the IBM system… but I failed to find more
references about it, could you help me locating info about porting AS/400?
Is it possible or is it worthly? Is there a team working for the port?...
well, this mail is to clarify which direction I should take… I know a little
about programming, i´m not an expert but I come from the real-time
programming (VxWorks, Aonix ArtK and so…) if I can help…. Let me know… but
by the way I’m plugging the system to learn more about AS architecture…

Thanks in advance…

Peace for all

P.S.: Sorry about my level of wroten English… and have a happy new year 2005
