It depends on the framebuffers. I believe these machines came standard
with GT1-series framebuffers, and support has been removed in AIX >= 4.
If you replace the framebuffer, the 220 should make a really nice
Xterminal.

2xIBM RS/6000 model 220 -- POWER single chip 33MHz
2xIBM RS/6000 model 250 -- PowerPC 601, 66MHz
The one I opened had both memory and a hard disk, and all but one of them
still had their keys.
These things are nice pizza-box sized things, I'm tempted to try and use
them as X-Terminals, since they do have framebuffers. Has anyone tried
this before?
