Hello all;
I have been offered an RS/6000 Powerstation 370. Not sure of
whats in it yet... can anyone shed some light on this system? Is it
a decent machine for running latest AIX versions?
It was *old* and slow when I had one on my desk in '96. I've a
feeling you can easily pick something up more capable of running the
latest versions of AIX fairly cheap. Someone else will have to
comment on if it can even run current AIX versions.
While it was old and slow, it was rock solid, so I actually resisted
replacing it with a PC for about three years.
