My father had a PC like this with Aix on it. Because he himself worked for IBM for more than 30 years. I can still remember it very well, I think I was 8 years old, and I was really excited about aix.
had one on my desk for a while in the early 90s and loved it. can't say i loved building AIX 3.x install images from piles of 8mm or 4mm tapes, but the core of AIX from 3 on has been rock solid. kudos!
4:30: "Waitasec...He promised Xwindows, but he's got a VT320 serial terminal attached...? You can't do a GUI through sixels on a terminal, right?" 5:30: "Ohhhhhhhhhh..."
I heard about IBM working with Apple to develop the PowerPC processor. I never saw how IBM used it (though I had used AIX on an IBM minicomputer). Thanks for posting.
LOL, I have the sparcstation 10 (quad ROSS cpu) but no monitor and I have the old Xstation 120 machines with monitor :) I started working as a sysadm on these machines in the mid 1990's
Of course. Video, naturally, make that somewhat louder, than IRL, but it is the sound of stepper (or old servo) head HDD. Even my first i486 PC has similary loud hard drive. Old days, you do hear the silence after turming computer off.
Would it be possible for you to dump that hard drive and upload it for download? I have been trying to find X11 install media for 3.2 for a while but the only one that is out there requires a previous version to be installed first. Thank you.
Hi, did you ever find the X11 install packages? I have AIX 3.2.5 installed on a POWERstation 220, but want the AIXwindows environment, but that was an extra install beyond the base OS. Can't find media/image/files anywhere.
So sir Unix are money to engineer, Unix not are money...money are windows with games or play station V. With Games win money in windows and play station V.

From memory AIX used X11R3 as the display manager and Motif as the window manager rather than CDE.

That 2 minute boot was painful...
That used to be normal, though.
Shit started to get on my nerves with how long it was taking to boot

It's so beautiful! Congrats! Btw, I have tha same model, could you provide me some install images?
Cool =D
Quantum hard disk?
Was it that noisy back in the day? Thanks for posting the video

Yes, I remember that noise well. And boot times could be VERY long. 10-15 mins even.
I have a 7011-230 I would like to get running. did you get this preinstalled or did you find some media for it? mine lacks the floppy drive.
check fsck.technology site. There installation media for AIX 3.2.5
cool stuff 😅
