IBM's pSeries 570 vs a 520 vs 550
Hidey Ho Folks,
Looking to buy a pServer for playing around with the IBM side of things. Looked around for a bit and notice that there is a significant price gap for the used 570's (Single Units) vs the 520's and 550's that folks are selling. Curious what to watch out for in either case? And why would a 520 and a 550 be so different in price vs the 570? Do the 570's have some dependence on the whole rack they come from? Since the 570's w/ APV come much cheeper, naturally, I'm a bit suspicious. If anyone could let me know, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, DH

PAC(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAC(8)
NAME
pac -- printer/plotter accounting information
SYNOPSIS
pac [-cmrs] [-P printer] [-p price] [name ...]
DESCRIPTION
pac reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices) of paper con-
sumed by each user, and printing out how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
Options and operands available:
-Pprinter Accounting is done for the named printer. Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or the value of
the environment variable PRINTER is used.
-c flag causes the output to be sorted by cost; usually the output is sorted alphabetically by name.
-m flag causes the host name to be ignored in the accounting file. This allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his
printing charges grouped together.
-pprice The value price is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02 or the price specified in /etc/printcap.
-r Reverse the sorting order.
-s Accounting information is summarized on the summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a busy system, the
accounting file can grow by several lines per day.
names Statistics are only printed for user(s) name; usually, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper.
OUTPUT FORMAT
pac formats the output into simple table, using four columns - number of feets or pages (column "pages/feet"), how many copies were made
(column "runs"), total price for this print (column "price") and user login with host name (column "login" or "host name and login"). If
argument name was not used and hence pac is printing information for all users, a summary line with print totals (runs, pages, price) is
appended.
Note that pac on other system might print the price as price per copy.
FILES
/var/account/?acct raw accounting files
/var/account/?_sum summary accounting files
/etc/printcap printer capability data base
SEE ALSO
printcap(5)
HISTORY
The pac command appeared in 4.0BSD.
BUGS
The relationship between the computed price and reality is as yet unknown.
