Hi Jeremie, > My company was about to throw away an old unused IBM RS/6000 43p model > 150 but I fortunately swerved it to my home instead :-). > It seems the spec is available here: > http://www.spec.org/gpc/June99/plb/IBM/summary/IBM.001.html > > Is it possible to run FreeBSD/ppc on this hardware? Possible, yes, I think so thought it is going to take some work. The 604e looks a lot like a G3/G4. However, I have no idea what i/o h/w looks like in this box and that would be where the work would lie. > FYI, this is a CHRP machine. I think Linux uses OpenFirmware RTAS to access h/w in these machines: that would also be possible with FreeBSD/ppc. later, Peter.home | help
