Yes the IBMs are worth tracking down. I always keep my eye out but rarely see them come up for sale but it'd be fun to have an RS/6000 that doesn't cause a hernia to move. My only similar one is a tadpole but I don't recall the version. I used a universal power supply to get it to run for a littl

There's also the S3000 in that category (luggable SPARCs). On the RS/6000 ThinkPad side, I have an 860 and a currently refusing-to-boot 800. Are the 860 and 800 worth hutning down? All of them have 2.5" SCSI drives as well I assume. -- : Ethan O'Toole
