RISC6000 7007 POWERportable N40
Pat,
Thats where I'm at. Thanks for the confirmation.
I have the high density SCSI pigtail that connects to the IBM badged Tadpole
SCSI Floppy.
I also have an IBM 7210 010, CDROM drive which is SCSI, but has the big D50
SCSI connectors.
So the question is: With the right "adapter cable" from high density SCSI to
D50 cable connect, will the N40 identify and use the IBM 7210 010?
I really do appreciate your best efforts so far. I saw the release note
suggesting that this 3.2.5 was cut back to fit in the laptop environment. I
Have 32 M Ram an an 810MByte Hard drive. Screen support, scaling, and
graphics character sets seem to be some of the Unit Specific features of
this model.
Sincerely
Larry Truthan

I poked around and found a document that might help you:

8. Select #10 to start the boot off the CD.
* Limitations:
> The 7007-N40 is supported by a special N40 version of AIX 3.2.5.
The 7007-N40 is NOT supported at AIX V4.
> The support for the 7007-N40 and N40 AIX 3.2.5 has been withdrawn,
thus questions are answered on a best effort basis.
* Information
> Software maintenance on this system can be done by booting off the
AIX 3.2.5 for N40 cdrom. To do this, attach the cdrom drive to the
SCSI bus.

You already knew most of this, but I'm sending it along in case it
might help.
