If it is the tower 6150 model, it is a nice machine, although slow by todays
standards.  It runs a very nice 4.3-Tahoe, Reno, or 4.4BSD.  AIX is so-so.
If it is the desktop model, AIX is about all it will easily run.  You can
shoehorn 4.3-Tahoe on it, but there is little space for expansion.

Someone go for it, so I am not the only RT still alive and kicking.....
