Well, the 7012-370 will *walk* v5.1. Verry verry
slowly.
BTW, I bought a pallet of 7043-140 boxes last week at $8/ea for the graphics
adapers (GXT120P) and the PCNET32 10/100 cards. I'm sure the scrapper thought
he was ripping me off by burying a much older system at the bottom.
It's a 7012-397 w/512MB RAM, 2 4.5GB drives, CDROM and 8505 8mm tape drive,
GXT800M and a 10/100 ethernet adapter. And with the deskside "foot".
I wasn't too upset about the ripoff. :)
And, if anybody has a 43P-140 and needs RAM, I have a crapload of 64MB
DIMMs. As far as I know, *only* the 7043-140 will run them.
AIX v5.1 was the last version to support any non-CHRP platform. The
7043-150 (43P-150), F50, and B50 are the oldest systems that'll run v5.2 or
v5.2.
Do you know if my 7248-133 can run AIX 5.1? I cannot seem to find much of
any information on this system, which is setup with AIX 4.3.3 at the
moment.
Also, if anyone has a 100-BaseTx capable PCI ethernet adapter for this
beast, I'd be interested. Ditto for a set of ISO images of AIX 5.1
(assuming it can boot it).
