I apologize for the URL... and the subsequent tangent. Sorry, that was just a
sloppy copy-and-paste.

I use a DEC DECConnect system on mine... I have a DB25 to MMJ on the RS/6000
side, and a DB9 to MMJ on the other. Plus you can swap out the MMJ adapters on
either end of the cable to talk to whatever you need. I highly recommend them
because they do the right thing 99.9% of the time.
Hi there!
I don't usually see much discussion on old IBM boxes, but I was looking for
a reasonably-powerful RS/6000 that can run AIX 4.1 and maybe 3.2.5, can
accommodate some decent disks, and isn't 200lbs. The 7012-390 looks perfect,
but I found this one on eBay:
Anyone see this?

Hopefully the new owner will read it in and make the contents available. Looks
like a fascinating piece of history! Pushing a tad rich for my blood though
given that I don’t have a
Wow that was a heck of a collection.
Wish I had known about it!

On Fri,
I gotta ask, what's the deal with the dangling card? That cracked me up!
Thanks for posting some pics!

I seem to recall having to install some vram chips on my P/390 to get 1024x768
resolution, but I think that was on my PC Server 330...
I’m glad you got it working! That is awesome! Did you get networking
functional?
Have fun!

Place your wagers...
How many more years do you think it'll take before decent, practical-sized
Alphas, like the DS15, and to some degree, the DS10, will be obtainable at
hobbyist-friendly prices?
I have an ES47 I got for a price I could stomach, but it's sans rail kit,
drinks power like
80-pin is SCA. Definitely no SCA disks in there.
The blue ones should be 68-pin, and the beige ones 50-pin.
Like I said though, double-check me :)
Good luck, and have fun!

I want to say the difference is in HVD vs LVD SCSI ... unless you’ve swapped
out the guts yourself, I’d not mix and match...
Then again it’s been forever since I monkeyed with those things and I could be
mistaken...
As for opening them, I’ve cracked them open before. It’s possible, but they
re any hardware that only works with 4.1.3?).

Any RS/6000 hobbyists out there?
I got my old 7009-C20 pretty tricked out and hardware carefully selected to be
compatible with AIX 4.1.3, the version I'm trying to get running on it.
Unfortunately, I can't get the dang thing to boot my 4.1.3 or 4.1.4 CD's.
It'll boot my 4.1.5 disc, however.
Anyone on here have any old RS/6000 parts? I have an old C10 I'm trying to
beef up a bit for a project. I'm after the following (pardon the lame table):
FC FRU Qty Desc
3033 74G8824 2 2.2GB SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Disk Drive
4012 9H5583 8 32MB SIMM Memory
4224 02G7431 1
>That one's been around for several years. Nobody here on the east coast
>wants it. A few of us checked it out in person. Pile of junk.
At some point, doesn't the rarity of it outweigh the rough condition? Or are
34's just not that rare? (or collectable?)
Not sure if that's it or not. I found the guy through eBay, not CraigsList.

Anyone on here want a whole System/34?
Not mine, but I have contact details. The scrapper wants $800 for it local
pick up.
Let me know today, please.
Thanks.
