[rescue] So I picked up an old POWER2 system...

[Andrew Jones]

I went to VCF midwest and picked up an IBM 3CT for 10$.  I had always 
wanted one of the old multi-chip POWER systems, and now I have one.

The catch is that I have no idea what to do with it.  The graphics 
boards have a 3w3 connector (not 13w3, 3w3, like a DEC) and I have no 
monitor.  I also cannot find any hardware information on IBM.com at all; 
it seems they stopped publishing any information about MCA systems. 
Luckily for me, the CD-ROM drive had an AIX 5.1 disc sitting in it, 
which I believe to contain the BOS distribution, so I should be able to 
get /something/ up and running if I can get a serial console.

To sum things up, does anyone have any leads on the old hardware 
manuals, preferably in computerized form? Can anyone tell me how to get 
a serial console on this system? Hints, tips?
