I have an IBM RT 6151 model 115 (advanced Processor Card with 4 MB of fast memory (sic), 70 MB Extended ESDI Fixed-Disk Drive) + etherned card and floating point accelerator. I'm trying to reinstall (from scratch) an operating system. 1) Is AOS4.3 still available, from where, for how much ? 2) Does AIX 2.2.1 fit on a 70 MB disk ? 3) Considering that I want to use this RT only for e-mail and remote login on other hosts (not computation nor programmming), if I have the choice between AOS and AIX, which one should I chose ? Any advice would be welcome. Thanks -- Francois Normant - fn@math.yale.edu Yale University - Mathematics Department Box 2155 - Yale Station New Haven CT 06520

Don't think so. Latest versions are AOS/VS 7.69 Classic and AOS/VS II 2.10 >2) Does AIX 2.2.1 fit on a 70 MB disk ?

I think you have the wrong newsgroup. this is for the Data General AOS and AOS/VS operating systems, not IBM. Sorry. Cheers. -- Kurt Freiberger, wb5bbw kurt@cs.tamu.edu 409/847-8706 Dept. of Computer Science, Texas A&M University DoD #264 *** Not an official document of Texas A&M University ***
