I am no longer sure when support for microchannel was dropped from AIX,

required a POWER4 or later processor.

The AIX on the SP2 would have been the same, in fact the hardware on
the SP2 nodes was similar to the regular RS/6000 boxes except the
console was through a special serial network in the frame and
accessed through the control workstation.? Most regular users likely
accessed the nodes through a LAN.

So, if I were to hunt for installation media for AIX, which version
would you recommend for a 320H with 32MB of memory, i.e., the latest
that would run and not get too bogged down by that amount of memory??
I can switch to a larger SCSI disk if it need be, but hopefully not
larger than 2GB.
