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.
It actually pretty much works behind any PC that can run OS/2 and has
a secondary PCI bus behind any of several specific models of PCI-PCI
bridge.
It also works just fine on AIX 4.3.3, but when Dave McGuire and I were
hacking on it last time, we couldn't get the code to work on 5.1.
Peace... Sridhar
