I just dug into this a bit, as I noticed I wasn't remembering most of
the process. I unzipped the install package and looked through it a bit.
The R390 distribution contains drivers for AIX 4.1.1, 4.2.1, and
4.3.1. Sridhar and I used the latter to get it running under 4.3.3 (I
think) on an RS/6000 model 397. (a beautiful machine by itself!)
Dave knows this, I'm sure, but for the record, the AIX kernel was
completely rewritten between v5.0 and v5.1, and a *lot* of legacy
support was dropped. It's not surprising that the P/390 code won't run
in 5.1.
This begs the question "What about AIX 5?"
Trust me, just run 4.3.3. :)

You need
specific models of machines for the card to be hosted. The
microcode for the system I think includes OS/2 It's been some time
since I loaded and ran the microcode on a cold machine.
There is also a way to run the cards hosted on an RS 6000 hosted by AIX.
I wonder if it would work on the Apple Network Server then. What were the
steps?
