What do you need for your RS/6000?
If you dig around on IBM's site, you need "Adapters, Devices, and
Cable information for Micro Channel Bus Systems"
Actually, you don't even have to dig around; I had to go find it to
get the name of the document, so here:
http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base/hardware_docs/pdf/380533.pdf
There's some (not a lot for the older models) model-specific info, too:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.pseries.doc/hardware.htm
I'd also get the "Diagnostic Information for Micro Channel Bus Systems":

HTH, HAND, TANSTAAFL, ETC. ;)
