No, the console is an IBM PC750 (I think an early Pentium machine), so
just about any VGA or XGA tube will work.

What was the little box- Info Window 319x? COAX in VGA out. After our CRT's
started fading we replaced all the consoles with the boxes and 19" VGA
monitors. Huge improvement. There were also the PCI emulator cards

For those interested, we still have some parts for and some complete
Integrated Servers and MP3000s in our warehouse. One of our divisions is
a 3th party maintenance provider and we would purchase compete used
units for parts for many years. Now, we no longer have any customers
with the stuff,
So the ES/9000 is mostly in its new home. I took a roadtrip to inspect
and prep the machine for shipment, and ended up taking the processor
and DASD cabinets home. The console and tape are quite safe - now I
need to get that stuff backed up and verified.
Anyway, I did not get much in the way of
Running Linux on an IBM 9221 will require the "vintage" patch and the (now
deprecated) 31-bit kernel. Historical details are available here:

I have been part of the club for years! The Cybers outnumber the IBMs
here, but we don't talk about them on this list.

I do not know what is on the machine, but I am going to assume that it
