Hey, Doc - off list to save everyone's bandwidth... What do you think to an
RS/6000 E30? I'm going to have a look at one tomorrow for not_much_money. I
have 2 questions - is it MCA or PCI?
And is the memory proprietary - or just standardish stuff?
Thanks in anticipation of your wise word :)

Here are some rs6000 info links that might be of interest:

Wish it was here in the US, I'd be interested in it also. My previous
foray
into MCA was less than successful. (BTW, it is PCI)

I've never run or used one, so I don't have a first-hand opinion.
IIRC, all the 604 machines are PCI, and I'm sure the 7024s are.
If it says "RS/6000", you can bet big odds on proprietary memory.
Again, I don't know that first-hand, but I'd bet big odds.... Kingston
is a good reference for that. IBM still has the User Guide and the
Install & Service Guide up for that machine too.

Mind the line wraps.
I've heard they're nice mid-range boxes. I know they're very rarely
seen on the loose, which says a lot.

If I'm not quite mistaken, it's a 233MHz PowerPC 604e. Should be MCA.
