1) Which OS' (besides some old version of AIX) run
on this
box? Or, if I am stuck with AIX, in addition to
praying that the HD is still alive, how could I
break in and change the root password?
I'm afraid you are stuck with AIX (which is not such a bad OS)
because the 320H is a MCI machine and the last time I looked
for alternatives I didn't find any.
If you don't expect to run X11 the 320H with AIX 4.2.1 is decent
nothing to write home about ....
2) What exactly is this "ethernet riser
card"? Do I have
a network-less system?
Mine came with an Ethernet card with AUI and BNC. It is a standard
MCI card.
3) Late last year, I posted a message to this list
about
some SIMMs that I grabbed off an AS400 system; they
look like 72pin SIMMs but have a slightly different
form factor and won't fit in a standard 72 pin socket.
The thing is, they seem to fit the sockets in this
system. And, that AS400 was equipped with exactly the
same model of HD that this RS6000 has. So I am
wondering if those 4MB SIMMS will fit this system,
which is filled with 2MB SIMMS...
Don't know! All I found out with my different RS6000/PowerPC boxes is
that RAM is not interchangeable (thanks big blue!!) Only my 7011/250
was satisfied with some PC memeory
