I have an old 43p-7248 on which I have AIX 4.3.2 and Catia 4.2.1R1. I have created Catia solid model files which I cannot extract to show to anyone who does not have similar hardware/software. I have found that a local ethernet link using an AMD 2gig pc with Windows 98se will finally allow me to...

what windows OS will do what I want? I would like the pc to be the server and be able to FTP the rs6000

I have a 43p-7248 and I have created large IGIS files in /home/catadm. I connected an rj45 cable to a 3COM pci card in my 1.9g AMD athalon. So far, I cannot even get the machines ti talk no matter what IP's, domain/nameserver names, etc I conjure up. Can anybody help with either end of this...

has anyone figured out how to connect a cdrom burner, or even a zip drive on an IBM rs6000 with AIX 4.3.2. I am tired of struggling with floppy disks to move IGES files for design models. tkat: tkasmer@yahoo.com, 607-7275709

ps: any chance you can help me with my dials/lpfk dilemma? I am using a 43P-7248 with AIX 432. I have ALL the right hardware...y-cable, two power supplies, several known to be good dials and lpfks, swapped around everything, and yet I get the dials zipping right into "available" with...

I knew that! However, the neurons seem to have a finite lifetime as I age! Thanks very much for the reminder lesson tkat (the inventor)

how can you reset a root password on a pci system (860 notebook)

The 249-860 I just got wont let me into root...lost password I know how to break in to my MCA machine, but I don't know how to get into the 860. I believe it has either AIX 415 or 421 on it. There are no switches for maintenance, similar to a 43p-140. I believe it is pci architecture.

thanks for the reply. I hadn't heard of it either. They sold for about $12 grand which is why you don't know about this N40. It uses an internal scsi drive which is limited to 810 mb. So is my 7249-860 limited to 1.2 gig (scsi), but I have found a way around this. An internal scsi/ide converter...

Does anyone have any experience with this notebook? I have lots of questions, starting with hd size. Can you operate with ONLY the external drive in place? How large a drive can you use? Can you use an Excabyte 7/14 gig internal drive to load a mksysb tape? This unit is very similar to my (old...

I finally got a dials and lpfk with the correct (2) power supplies and Y-cable. I plugged them in to the proper serial port output on the 43P, booted up into smit/green screen, and went into devices. The dials went in just fine. Then the lpfk hiccuped and gave me an error message...

I have been battling with 850 and 860 notebooks and I really bummed out. Accordingly, I have decided to make my own. My background includes 30 years of hard core electronics and switching power supplies, packaging, etc etc etc. My first project will be stuffing a 43p-140 into my own custon...

I appreciate the redbooks info. however, I have been all over those sites, including the ibm archive desk. no luck. I am going to have to find someone who has a copy, and is willing to give ip up or have it copird for me. my e-mail is tkasmer@yahoo.com

No, it was much more expensive than the Kingston KTM43P150256 which is advertised by Kingston (a reputable and respected name in the industry) to be correct for the 43p150. I even got one of the sticks from an rs6000 remarketer. I know about the selectivity of ibm memory and the difficulty in...

I have the correct Kingston memory, 2, new good sticks of 256 mb. I tried a minimum configuration per the service guide with only one stick of ram, and I tried moving the single stick around with everything else unplugged. Same E220 error code, but less post iterations to get there. It seems...
