This IBM system has a 59MHz POWER2 cpu.
One other question: This machine has nothing I recognise as a monitor
connector. It does has (left to right)
2 x 25 pin male D-types labelled S1 and S2
1 x funky contronics-style thingy labelled SCSI 2 SE
1 x BNC and 1 x AUI connector, on an expansion card.
4 x unused expansion slots
1 x 25 pin female D-type labelled P
1 x strange PS/2-sized 8-pin DIN labelled T
2 x PS/2 sockets labelled K and M
I can guess what all of them except the 'T' do. Might this be a
monitor connector? Or am I going to end up talking down the serial
port to it?
The "T" is a "Tablet", according to:
http://www1.ibmlink.ibm.com/cgi-bin/master?xh=NniKJBXlk8NSfe2USenGnN9332&request=salesmanual&parms=H%5F7012%2D380&xhi=salesmanual%5E&xfr=N
Here's the user manual:
http://www16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base/hardware_docs/pdf/380544.pdf
There's nothing about the tablet (except where to find the connector) in
the user manual, nor is there anything about using a monitor (I presume
this is covered in the graphics adapter user manual or something).
It does mention serial terminal, though. The salesmanual claims it was
equipped with a graphics adapter, but good luck finding one of those now ;-)
Maybe life with a bloody useless E15 graphics adapter in a PReP isn't so
bad at all :-)
I still wish I could find a graphics card that was 1: supported by
Linux/X without needing the onboard BIOS (only one I know of is the
Voodoo3, which I accidentally have ;-) ) and 2: worked in the PCI slot
of the PReP I have (the Voodoo3 fails this requirement :-( )
