<< Hi.
   Does anyone have pointers for detailed documentation? A mouse, maybe?
 And which operating system - AIX v2.2, BSD4.3, or AOS - do I want to
 run? I'm leaning toward AIX, mostly because I work with "modern" AIX,
 but I'm plenty willing to take suggestions. For that matter, what *is*
 AOS, anyway?
   I just found out that I got in first claim for a functional RT 6150. I
 can't pick it up till tomoroww afternoon, though....
   The guy who's giving it away says he "has no boot disk, but it starts
 up just fine."!? He also thinks it has 3 drives and is maxed out on
 memory. It comes with a display and keyboard, but no docs and no mouse.
 I've been googling, and there are a lot of mentions of it, but no real
 information. >>

The ez way to tell an RT mouse is that it will have 2 round buttons like
eyes. There is an RT newsgroup that has ontopic postings every once in a
while so you can ask there for questions. Did you get the desktop or tower
form factor? Desktop can only have 1 drive AFAIK. 16meg is the max mem i
believe. Mine has a MDA so I can run text only but am getting a Megapel for
it soon. Not rare machines, but I've never seen any besides the one I have.
I'd hate to pay shipping for it though, extremely heavy!
