Today I can't power it up... I have a concert...

I'm just about to mount my RS/6000 Discovery and Microcode Update CD online
via the CD-changer, take a copy however is easiest. Could be worth its
weight in gold!

what does your 320 have?
The 3W3 outlets were not unusual in the early 1990s,
a lot of DEC boxen had them too.

the original set was 4 CDs base OS plus 4 CDs Bonus Pack,
plus documentation ...
Sorry, the 7006-44 blahblahblah is the S/N, not type-model. In a PS/2
style, I would call it a 7006-42T
RS/6000 gurus, weigh in...
42W
7006 is the model number.
The rest is the serial number,
and ISTR the leading digits are
sort of a country code.
I opened the case: the PC has 128 MB of RAM and this "two-floor" big
graphic card ...

The 1-5 is one of:
POWER GT4xi 8-bit graphics adapter (2 linked cards) - FC 2711 Page 1-20 of
the ADCI
POWER GT4xi 24-bit graphics adapter (2 linked cards) - FC 2712 Page 1-22 of
the ADCI
POWER GT4i 24-bit graphics adapter (2 linked cards) - FC 2713 Page 1-24 of
the ADCI
The ADCI (RS/6000 Adapters, Devices and Cable Info.) should be available on
Kevin's site as I've sent him copies of my PDFs already.
I don't know the rs/6000 but to this above, one practical tip from me if anyone
needs a cheap converter.
My first Industrial-Style Hub was an AT-MR820TR with Traffic-Load Meter. Nice
Device. It has 8*10BaseT Ports and an Backbone-Port with AUI and 10Base2 Ports.
Since 10Base2 has a maximum of 10MBit/sec. there are no real limitations.
These Devices will be often found at ebay for only One EURO.
An specialized Converter like MR-12/15 or similar often costs more than these
old Hubs. But they did the same job. And, there was an rackmount-kit for it. But
i dont have one and still seeking for one.
My old Hub is gone defective because i did not used it for some years but i got
one for one EURO. And it's fine.
Maybe this helps someone...
