Liberated RS/6000
I've got hold of this RS/6000 from work (they bought a flight case
from a company which went bust, and unexpectedly found a computer
inside).
All I know about it is:
The badge says "RISC System/6000 380"
It has a sticker with "128Mb, 9Gb, CD, 8mm" on the top.
It doesn't have anything I recognise (from my Intel-centric worldview)
as a monitor connector.
Obvious questions first:
Am I right in thinking this is a PPC box? (And if not, feel free to
flame me off the list. ;)
Is it likely to run Woody cheerfully? Any gotchas I should know about?
Guesses on its likely BogoMIP rating?
No doubt there's an FAQ somewhere which answers all my questions...
Iain.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. -- Anthony DeBoer
