Re: Old Model 520

Yes *IF* you can get the VET code to let it run VIOS. Good luck with that on such an old machine.

I tried for a year to order it for my 520 to no avail. I gave up as I have a 720 now.

that PowerVM VIOS should run on it (or I might understand things
wrong)

The PowerVM thingy is quite new to me, atm my most recent machine is a
Model 270.

No. 9111's are AIX/Linux only.

Hello,

I managed to find an old Model 520 on a second hand site (9111-520),

which

the IBM docs state that it could run AIX/Linux.

Somebody mentioned the existence of PowerVM - will this allow me to run

IBM

i on it?
If I looked well, there is an 'express' version, which should be

sufficient

I think - what's the price of that? (I cannot see prices at the IBM site)


Thank you,

Yvan Janssens
