The desk-side box was a monster, wasn't it? I had one of those about ten

The same! Many boxes of them, I'm afraid. System, AIX, programming -
even the assembler reference :-).

In my ongoing
effort at clearing space, I must part with my beloved IBM
RT-PC. This is a desktop form-factor with the "enhanced advanced CPU"
(don't you love 80s marketing-speak) running at a stunning 16Mhz. with 8MB
of memory on-board.
Wow! I was working at IBM when the RT-PC was launched (1986?) I actually
have (acquired much later) a 6150 - the desk-side RT-PC. I like the system,
and I wish I could spare more time to work on it (well, that's true of most
of my systems, I suppose). - A bookshelf
or two of documentation
On those weird square-page manuals in ring binders?
