[aix thinkpad] anyone still out there?

[Bicknese, Scott]

Cameron -

Yours is the first post in this mailing list since 2015, which had one post.  That was the first post since 2012.

For all intents and purposes, I think this forum is dead.  (Note:  I am just a user, not an admin.)

I don't even have my TP860 anymore.  I doubt many people do, since the highest version of AIX it can run is 4.1.5 (using the internal graphics card) and 4.2.1 (with a serial terminal attached).

I think most people interested in UNIX-like OSes on laptops are now using Linux instead.

>From what I've seen on the internet, the TP800 is very rare.  I'd be surprised if you could find any parts for it.

Good luck though!

Recently picked up a TP860 and rediscovered this list, so I'm subscribing.

I also have a TP800, but it got fried when I tried to upgrade it with a
SCSI2SD and it won't boot anymore (error code says the SCSI fuse is open,
but I'll be damned if I can find where it is on the board). Still, it works
otherwise and has a beautiful display for a doorstop :P
