Michael,
Thanks for your reply as i replied to Warner (sorry i thought your
first name was Losh), i will look into AIX for PS/2 for the 57SLC.
Thanks to all who had input into this.
Oh by the way i have heard a rumour that MAC PowerPCs will support
FreeBSD. Any truth to this. That would be just totally awsome. Running
FreeBSD on a RISC chip machine.
Thank you again,
Kjell
