I wonder if it
would work on the Apple Network Server then. What were the
steps?
I just dug into this a bit, as I noticed I wasn't remembering most of
the process. I unzipped the install package and looked through it a bit.
The R390 distribution contains drivers for AIX 4.1.1, 4.2.1, and
4.3.1. Sridhar and I used the latter to get it running under 4.3.3 (I
think) on an RS/6000 model 397. (a beautiful machine by itself!)
This will work with an MCA P/390, a PCI P/390, or a PCI P/390E. You
need the LIC disk (or disk image) to get it running. This is tough to
find, but it's "around". Again
The software itself is simply a big AIX "installp" package.
Installing it is a piece of cake.
Note that this is all completely independent of whatever (standard,
unmodified) S/390 OS you intend to run on the resultant S/390 system, be
it VM, OS/390, VSE, Linux, etc.
