Heheh, OK, so VMS on floppies isn't realistic - I've obviously been spoiled
by my time with a Sun 386i :-) I guess I'll get a CD drive, join DECUS and
get myself the 7.2 CD. Thanks for your help and advice, everyone :)

ANyone have a source on the net for a PDF manual or a spare hardcopy they'd
sell or trade for? I pick this monster up from Columbus IH sometime this
week.

So, to drag us kicking and screaming to an on-topic conversation...can
anyone point me to some information on the IBM 9377? Specifically,
I'm looking for physical dimensions, weight, and power requirements.

I agree, there is nothing really new, but it is nice to see a publication

Also note that early version of AIX were much more like "something strange" than they were like normal Unix. From what I've heard they may be quite a bit different from new versions.
