Actually,
after some research, they appear to be Powerserver 580s (we
think, possibly 560s). Any gotchas here?
That would be the 7013-560 or 7013-580. They're both dandy machines.
They like lots o' ram, but the 560 is pretty fast, considering the era,
and the 580 is downright zippy. Both are stump-pullers - you can load
them beyond all reason.
I talked to the former sysadmin (who may get one of them) and he says they
have "a lot of" RAM (at least 300MB as memory serves) and 4.1 on board.
BTW, 5.0 & 5.1 are significantly faster than 4.x
on the slower
machines.
Where can I get these? Does the AIX 'implied license' still hold, i.e., if
you own an AIX-capable machine you have a license for AIX?
