eBay prices have gotten silly. Sellers seem a lot more willing to sit
on items for years hoping they get 4-5x what something should sell for
rather than moving volume these days. It's odd psychology when you
know a lot of it just gets scrapped eventually when it never sells.

You can make a pretty nice native command line environment on Windows with
“Windows Terminal” from Microsoft and the Chocolatey package manager (which
is like homebrew for Mac or similar to apt for Debian). There is also WSL
which lets you run a native Linux distro in a fairly integrated way. If
Wow, would love to have a machine like that. The “weird unix” was probably
MP-RAS which was NCR’s SysVr4. NCR was selling massive x86 MCA systems for
Terradata setups in the early ‘90s.

I'm pretty sure it was intended as a PLC or more precisely a PDP11

for the Series/1, the ISA, and monitor functions in 400 pages.

There was quite a bit of difference up until POWER6 although each
generation came closer and closer together. It wasn’t just the IOPs, the
systems had different management controllers, cases, expansion enclosures,
etc as late as POWER5 and only ran AIX in LPARs or PASE.

I have one of these, but the system has HP-IB disk and tape. I'd like
to use a SCSI tape to install on it. On the CPU card, there is what

Why are you trying to install that specific version? For "standard"
MCA systems there are only three versions the really "matter" IMHO and
backward binary compatibility is good in AIX: 3.2.5, 4.3.3, 5.1.
3.2.5 is best for early POWER1 and in
ing like a 3174-1, 3174-11 or 3174-6x.

Ideally looking for a 3290 and would offer around $1000 as an initial

I'm in Arizona, willing to pay for shipping or I can come collect it.
Please reply direct, I don't watch the list too hard.

Yeah I would think $80-$200 would be fair for a typical MCA machine

more to the right person... you can pry my 7012-397 and 7012-G40 from cold

7006 might also fit the bill. I've got a few of the different models but

One seller has a bunch of 7009s, you might try to talk him down to a
realistic price.
