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:

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
