Found a few things today which is surprising these days.
Got a RS6000 model 250. It had the key in the switch which I understand is a
good thing. Is this computer worth keeping?
Got a CD labeled upgrading and repairing PCs 8th edition. Also has 6 and 4th
editions on it as well as a mac upgrade section. Looks to be all .pdf files.
found 3 full length ISA cards called EVERGREEN SYSTEMS CAPCARD 9500. Looks
like a computer on one board with a Pentium overdrive in a socket 3. Any info
on this?

It's kinda slow. PowerPC 601 at 66 or 80 MHz. Uses ECC PPD 72-pin
SIMM's. The "lower" model in the 7011-series, the RS/6000 POWERstation
220 actually outruns it in most thing running a POWER at 33MHz.

IMHO it's not too bad. I've noticed it does seem to boot AIX faster than
the 220; if you're not doing 64bit stuff, it's a fair amount faster, since
it's just a 32bit proc not a 64bit one.

The POWER is 32-bit. But for anything with FP in it, the POWER will stomp
all over the 601.
