Hi,

After a major reorganisation in the living room I still have 1 nice system
that needs a loving home.

My 9111-285 aka Intellistation 285 POWER 5 1.9GHz single core (I think?)
workstation is looking neglected and needs a place to live as I donbt have a
use for it and it takes up a lot of floor space (which is about to be at a
premium when my new project is finished).

Itbs externally dusty and has a few scuffs but otherwise itbs in really
good condition as Ibve owned it from new and itbs been indoors all itbs
life and seldom used. I think the supervisor CPU cardbs NVRAM battery is
flat but itbs a fairly standard coin cell and it still starts without it,
but being an IBM it throws a few error codes in the process.

It has a pair if 15krpm 73GB drives, 8GB of RAM (I think I have some spare
too) and I can provide all itbs original documentation (what little there
is), diagnostics CDs and a recent-ish version of AIX 7L.

I canbt ship it, the thing weighs 40+kg, so itbs collect only, it can be
knocked down a bit for moving but the main chassis is still damned heavy.
Itbs on a first floor with no lift so be prepare move it down stairs.

Located in UK at LN11 postal code.
All relevant social distancing must be observed (basically, please wear a face
mask).
