With AIX 3.x you need real IBM keyboards and mice, but from 4.x you can just
use some PC junk. I installed 4.2.1 on one of the 320H and it works fine.
Can even run Netscape 4.72, slooooowly but it runs. If you don't use X in
is not so bad.

Probably I'll be in SFO a the end of November so it would be cheaper to
exchange some stuff.
