AS/400 P03 Questions

[Philippe Vachon]

Hi folks.

I recently acquired an AS/400 P03 "Advanced Portable." This is my first 
real piece of IBM Midrange hardware, and I have not a clue how to 
interface with it. I know the OS is a PITA on its own to deal with, but 
I figure I'll solve one problem at a time.

So, I was just wondering, does anybody have any manuals for this sucker 
(preferably in PDF form!) or know where I can grab them from? There is 
not a sign of the English manuals for this machine on IBM's website at 
all. Also, I was wondering if anybody knew how I would go about 
interfacing with this machine. The DE9 ports on the back of it are 
definitely not serial ports, and the only other port on it is a SCSI 
port. Am I missing some cards for this machine? It would almost appear 
as though the original owner pulled some interface cards for it, but I 
could be mistaken.

Any help would be appreciated!

Phil.
