Re: AIX for RS6K 590?

Steve,
I've got some copies of AIX 5.1 available. Drop me a note at my email
and I'll see about send you one.

run on this machine?
MCA machines will run 5.1. As long as your 7013-590 has decent RAM and
disks, performance will be alright. 4.3.3 is a better fit however.

It has 256 MB memory and a couple of 9 GB SCSI disks of unknown vintage,
but everything worked well the last time it was running (about a year
ago). I may try to locate a copy of AIX 5.1 and breath some life into it.
Thanks everyone,
