(in the IBM building, West Perth) and Focal Systems (Hyatt Centre,
Adelaide Tce) are (were?) the only AS/400 development houses in Perth.
They (or IBM) may be able to point you toward someone selling one. You
may be on to a loser, as at their height (the heady days of the late
80's) there were only 30 or so sites in Perth.

FlexiPlan (London House, St Georges Tce) were in the middle of decommisioning
some AS/400 machines throughout last year whilst I was contracting there, not
sure if they are still in use or what they have done with them so I guess
this is prety useless info but none the less I thought I'd share anyway...
Cheers,
