> the 170s on ebay are processor feature #2164. Cpw 125/29, unconstrained ( > whatever that means ) 210/29. Just an FYI on the constrained/unconstrained thing. This (and some others) model of the 170 had some limitations on the amount of main storage and number of disk arms which prevented the processor from reaching its full potential under IBM's CPW benchmark testing. The constrained figure represents its maximum performance on the benchmark; the unconstrained figure indicates that it would have done better if more stuff could have been added to the box. This implies that the machine might do better on processor-intensive tasks than the CPW benchmark would otherwise indicate. Regards, Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
