I'm not sure that architecture is supported, but let's assume you *could* - what would you plan on doing, CPU mining?

Simply use Bitcoin to take advantage of a rising or falling Bitcoin price.

Yes, but the hash rates are abysmal.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

1) Just drop the whole thing in an acid bath
2) Precipitate out the gold content
3) Sell the gold for BTC.
Maximum profit.

I was told the way it affixed integers made it a superior bitcoining rig for fractions of the cost.

AS/400 hardware mostly uses the power architecture[1]. While superior to x86 for some operations, they still can't compete with ASICs.
