With all this talk of RS/6000s, I've become a little interested in what
these machines can do / are capable of. Is there a hardware FAQ like the
FAQABOSS or Sun Hardware Reference?

There's an AIX FAQ lying around. And of course, don't forget that Power
Macintoshes are also technically RS/6ks. :-)

Not even
close. That's like saying a modem with an 80186 controller
is technically a PeeCee.
To totally change the subject, somewhere I have a modem (2400 bps max I
think) which uses an 8088 as the 'DSP'....

I've got a number of SCSI controllers that use an 80186. I have some
caching ATA adapters from the early '90s that even use an 80286. I guess a
386SX or a custom chip would be used if similar boards were made today.

Most of the later RAID & smart IDE controllers I've seen use i960's.
But HP still puts 486DX chips in a lot of their network printers....

I think I have a few SCSI cards that use the 186 as well. In fact the
IBM Microchannel FW uses it.

New subject: slimming down....
I've decided it's time to part with some of the systems I'm
not particularly interested in. If anyone has any interest in the
following, contact me off-list:
- Apple //gs with 5MB RAM and SCSI
- (2) IBM PCjr's, both types of keyboard and IBM monitor
- Commodore 128D with keyboard
All worked the last time they were used.

Thanks to all who showed an interest in the below items.
They have all been claimed at this point. More likely to follow.
