I received some minutes ago this stuff, in excellent cosmetic conditions:

1) RS/6000 7006-44-B5765, with graphic adapter 1-5 (3W3 connector) and a
never seen before 3W3 to VGA (I saw the 13W3 to VGA, never the 3W3...),
internal CD-ROM drive, and (at last !) the keys !!!
2) RS/Keyboard (with speaker and ctrl/act)
3) three button IBM mouse
4) exabyte internal tape drive
5) a strange adapter, marked 39H8148 (I googled a little ... RJ45
ETHERNET CONVERTER (THICK TO TWISTED PAIR))
6) A bunch of AIX 4.3.3 CDs (many, many CDs ... two of them IBM original,
one is marked Upgrade ... Tivoli Ready). I'll make a list, if someone
wants an ISO image...

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.

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...

7006 is the model number.
The rest is the serial number,
and ISTR the leading digits are
sort of a country code.

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...
