Not a Schlage lock, Medeco (YUCK!! if security was this important, than why'd they put the power switch out front??) 4.3.3 runs pretty well if you have memory. I ran it with 1 of my cards (128M) and it was really slow. 256 ran pretty well. KB/M are standard PS/2. the "official" RS/6000 keyboard has a speaker in it, but it isn't necessary. Video is 3W3 or 13W3, seems pretty standard. If you need to foil the lock, I can trace the switch positions later today for kludging purposes. I wouldn't advise trying to go directly to IBM, they seem to be the "snooty Maitre'd" that would rather not sell anything than stoop to deal with the likes of an *individual* user. E-Bay has AIX cheap, generally, your school sysadmin might be a help, or you could ask around. Quick check of the RS6ks- plug them in and make sure the # panel doesn't flash 888. If you want the switch pinouts/paths email me, or for other questions. I don't think there of general enough interest for the group (but I could be wrong) I hope this e-mail address doesn't clog up the channels with HTML sludge, even if it does sound a bit egoistical. -Scott Quinn
