AIX

That won't work because even if this would be the right processor you would still lack the correct BIOS.

What you could run on pre-Intel Macs though is Linux/PPC. A collegue of mine is using his iBook as a dual-boot system with MacOS and Linux/PPC. He is satisfied with the results, but as far as i remember he had to tinker a bit until got everything working nicely.

Looks like it may be an Xterminal onto a real box.

for what I want to learn (including SA stuff), looks like an ebay RS6000 box is the way to go.

remember not to bid against me

Don't forget to get AIX on CD-ROM.

if you have time for a (possibly tough) setup, take a look at the "pearpc" emulator.

good luck, and success !
