Yes. it has the drive and boots AIX. But I dont have the Password
for Root. It has the CDrom but no floppy or battery. I have 10
of so other Thinkpads . But this is the only PowerPC. I tried
a workstation version of AIX CDrom but is locked up after a short
time.
When I received it , it would not boot. It had been droped on the
right rear conner so hard that it broke the ears off the internal
memory sockert retaining arms. after repairing the memory
socket, it seems to work just fine.
