4Sale: RS/6000 machine

Post by Jeff Rolof » Thu, 07 Nov 1996 04:00:00



Sorry for posting here...couldn't find anywhere else that made sense.

We have an old RS/6000 machine we don't need any more, which we want to
sell to the highest bidder. We'll take any bid--so just make an offer no
matter how ridiculous. The original IBM model is 7012, and it has eight
SIMMs, each with 20: OKI M514256A-80J memory chips. It has two SCSI disk
drives, and comes with a model 7207 1/4" cartridge tape drive. Also
included are a 2980 Ethernet adapter and 2955 16 port async adapter (with
no cable assembly for the 16-port board).  The unit does not include a
monitor.

The bad news is that it won't load AIX onto disk, and we don't want to
spend the time figuring out why. (It will boot from the tape, but the
loading process hangs for an unknown reason.) We can only accept credit
card payment (Visa, MC, AMEX), since we've been burned with CODs on things
like this in the past.

If you want to bid, please send me email. At 8:00am CST on Wednesday,
November 13th I will close bidding, and notify the winner. Then we can
communicate about shipping address, credit card number, etc.

If you have any questions, please email or call me.

Thanks for your interest!

Jeff

1. RS/6000 error msgs (Was: Re: RS/6000 survey - will post summary)

[LANG=En_US]  ksh: kjj: 0403-016 Cannot find or open the file.
[LANG=C]      ksh: kjj: cannot open

[LANG=En_US]  0506-764 ln: /tmp: Cannot use this command with a directory.
[LANG=C]      ln : </tmp> directory

 Canonicalizing all the error msgs by assigning them numbers and more
verbose explanations isn't such a bad idea, but it will hardly make
the system usable by secretaries. It does nothing to prevent an
accidental "rm *" or hide the details of the filesystem from the user.
Secretaries will run Motif and shrink-wrapped applications in
which case they will probably never [want to] use Unix shells. And they
shouldn't need to.
 The big gain here will be made by IBM SEs who will now be able to
look up customers' complaints by the error number.

    I haven't heard about IBM shipping *anything* on a Powerstation
yet. You can buy SunOS 4.1 *today* which is B2 certified.
And AT&T is advertising System V/MLS which is B1
certified -- I don't know if it's shipping yet.
    If security is important to you, you sure don't want to go with
a measly C2 rated system.
