Hi
Hope you still have the video card. I have a 7011(Microchannel) machine
without a video card. I have tried to hook it up to a terminal but that does
not work. I guess I will have to get the video card. Been trying for months
and even have a friend in Germany on the case for me. I ran into one some
time ago, from a commercial source, but it was beyond my meager means. Not
sure if that is the same video card, in your machine, but I am desperate to
try it. If still available I will definitely pay shipping and can also offer
something for trade if necessary. Please respond.
Headley

Subject: RS6000...I have one taking up space here - for donation/trade...
Hi
With all this talk about RS6000 servers, I would like to say I have a
320H 7012 type that has almost gone to the dumpster in the last two
major basement cleanings I have done.
It was removed from service and brought here. I booted it several times
with the old AIX on there and everything was working. Plan was to put
Linux on there...but then i learned it's not available...I pulled the 2
SCSI drives from it and never re-installed them.
It was working last time I re-started it (3 months ago) with a Wyse 60
connected to the great modu10 serial connector (had to build an adapter
plug - thanks IBM) using the diag/boot floppy disks for it that I
have...
No keyboard...no monitor...MCA arch...80Megs Ram, floppy, Token Ring
network card, something I was told was a Sabine accel. video card (?),
scsi card.
I have no use or space for this.
I would like to give it away or maybe at least get something in
exchange...I collect micros from the 197x-198x...current wish list
includes : trs80 mod III, NExT, Atari 800 or CP/M systems or anything
else interesting...I am NOT looking for $$$ for this...I don't have the
time to bother seeling it on epay, I am not even signed up to sell or
buy on epay...
One hitch : I am in Montreal, Canada.
So if you dont want the whole thing (29 pounds on my people scale) or I
can always just ship some boards, or whatever...I you need more info or
pics, just email...I am not too familliar with the R6000 machines...
Thanks
Claude
