Do you know if my 7248-133 can run AIX 5.1? I cannot

It will, but it'll be horribly slow. The memory limitations and the
disk subsystem compete to be the main bottleneck on that box. I
personally would stick with 4.3.3.
The 7248 is the first 43P, and you've already found that IBM just
barely admits it ever existed. You'll probably find more information
about the physical system in the LinuxPPC community.
Also, if anyone has a 100-BaseTx capable PCI ethernet
adapter for this
beast, I'd be interested. Ditto for a set of ISO images of AIX 5.1
(assuming it can boot it).
How many would you like?
Seriously, I have a large stack of "Type 9-P" IBM 10/100 cards. $15
shipped inside the US.
