Hi,
does anyone have that OS ?
I've got a Motorola PowerStack, which i want to use with something more exotic
than Linux or AIX ....
... OS/2 PPC should run, but i've never seen it ...
Is there any other (exotic) OS available for that machine ?
Thanks Bernd

Hey, does that run standard 36-bit parity SIMMs, or the
not-quite-standard SIMMs the IBM 7248-1xx, 40P and 42T use?

Hi Doc,
the manual says, that you can run either no-parity, parity or ECC FPM Simms ...
... i only tested no-parity and parity simms (32 MB), and both work.
BTW: the no-parity Simms are called unprotected Simm Modules in the manual,
and are listed as XX * 36, but this seems to be an error, as 'normal' XX * 32
Simms will do the job !
I've tried some Kingston KTC1481/64 modules as well (64 MB parity), but for these,
only 32 MB will be
detected ...

Thanks. That's *very* cool. I have a whole bag of 32-bit EDO 32M
SIMMs that have been pretty useless till now. I was going to trade them
in for 64M parity for my Indigo2, but at a 6 to 1 trade rate, I think
I'll populate the PowerStack instead.
I'm assuming it'll run AIX 4.3.x without trouble? Or do I
need a special version, like the Apple Network Servers did?

Hi Doc,

I got an AIX 4.1 version with the system (which i haven't installed until now)
...
... the CD's are named AIX 4.1 on Powerstack and have the Motorola labels ...
