I never worked with the 370... Just the 350 and 3BH at IBM. (different
cpu's and clock rates, same general architecture)
RS6000/370 -- Microchannel RS6000 RISC Power architecture (similar to
Power PC)...
A really nice little RS6000 desktop.

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.

Runs AIX, based on the Power2 Processor (a PPC varient, or maybe it came
out before the PPC). Getting an affordable copy of AIX for one might be a
problem. I've never seen copies of either AIX or HP-UX available, and have
no idea what either OS would cost. Yes, I know they're two different
companies, your point being?
I don't like AIX, but it runs, and seems pretty darn stable, I've never had
it crash on me! Which explains why I've still got a AIX box at work
instead of an NT box... Hmmm, that just made me realize another
justification for not giving it up :^)

AIX 4.x is quite nice. And DAMNED reliable.

Very similar, but the PowerPC has much of the good floating point
hardware stripped out. Power2 has very good floating point performance -
probably the best of any microprocessor ever made until very recently.
