And Pat Finnegan. :) I think Pat has a reasonably complete chart of
the various RS/6000 and pSeries machines, with CPU type, latest version
of AIX supported, etc.
The easiest rule of thumb for non-rack-mount systems is that if it's
black, it'll probably run AIX v5.3. If it's beige, it'll run up to
v5.1, FSVO "run".
Off the record, IBM is amazingly unconcerned about OS "piracy", as
long as it's not for commercially-used systems. Their attitude is that
the more exposure people get to AIX, the more hardware and service
contracts they'll sell.
What a concept, eh?
