[rescue] AIX on PS/2 (was: What to do with an orphan DEC Professional 350?)

[Ken Hansen]

The P/75 was SCSI-based, was the P/70?

The P/75 was also able to take up to 32 Megs, but I
could never get it working... IBM had some odd voodoo
in those memory circuits...

The screen was nice (seemed huge at the time), and the
full-size keyboard was cool too. I got mine from IBM
Factory Outlet for abotu $250 way back in the day...

My 3TX is *wayy cool* too, with it's TurboSPARC CPU
and 128 Meg RAM! (12 Gig HD is nice too!)
