    In the case of my own 515, the 9405 designator says that the machine was configured as an "express" model. Basically, the machine comes pre-configured with a certain amount of DASD, memory, and certain software, above what the standard base model offers. These preconfigured machines are usually sold at a discount of what buying a base machine and adding these components would cost.

          Michael -- you know so many geeky things..
          when you bend over, do tiny little nerds fall out?
          All my answers were extracted from the "Big Dummy's Guide to the As400"
          and I take no responsibility for any of them.

            I'm not nearly as geeky as I used to be. For instance, until today, I had not even heard of a discovery probe.

                There is no difference.

                The 9405 number says that the machine is an express model.

                An express model is exactly the same machine as a 9406.

                Express models come pre-configured with a certain memory, dasd, and certain software.

                You can build a 9406 system exactly identical to a 9405 system. But you would pay more.

                The only difference is that you pay less for a 9405 because it was discounted by IBM by being shipped preconfigured with a certain amount of memory, dasd, and certain software products.
