What IBM Hardware do you have? - Irinikus - 05-22-2018
I only have an IBM 486DX4 100MHz machine at the moment:

I've got a RS/6000 7044-170:

In shipping the faceplate and side door were broken off (though the side still kind-of stayed on), as you can see in this picture. I've since gotten a replacement for both. Still has a broken foot though, so the tower wobbles.
Here's the specs:
- CPU: IBM POWER3 @ 400MHz
- RAM: 1GB
- Storage: 2x 20GB SCSI HDD
- Graphics: GXT300P
- OS: AIX 5.3
And an RS/6000 7011-250:

This thing is <I>super</I> slow. I suspect it's a combination of the relatively heavy AIX 4.3.3 + the SCSI2SD (the 5.0 is slower than the newer ones) + the anemic PPC601.
Here's the specs:
- CPU: IBM PowerPC 601 @ 66MHz
- RAM: 256MB
- Storage: 8GB SCSI2SD v5b
- Graphics: GXT150
- OS: IBM AIX 4.3.3

An IntelliStation POWER 285 from nekochan.net forum member "shiunbird" (many tahnks to him!): dual CPU 2.1GHz, RAM 8GB, 3x73GB HDD. At the moment I'm trying to manage the AIX to be more user friendly...
An IntelliStation POWER 185 (I think, I didn't started it for years - it is noisy and it came without OS).
An IntelliStation POWER 265 (I think, I didn't started it for years because it is too noisy)..
An IntelliStation with Pentium II CPU (not used for more than 10 years, I thing that I put it into storage after some failure).
Some IBM laptops (non-working): the "butterfly" one and the T23.
Update: also have a few IBM WorkPads (the re-branded Palm handhelds): one fully working original WorkPad (it is a Palm Pilot Personal in a nice black case) and one or two based on the Palm IIIe (these are on in working conndition).

A 701c "butterfly". Although, this one is a bit special. It was made by Hantz + Partner - it has a 133Mhz AMD-X5 and 16Mb of RAM.

IBM 7026-B80. A real lump: dual POWER3-II 630+ CPUs clocked at 375MHz, 8 MiB cache, 4 GiB RAM. The hard discs are 1×18 GB (boot and root), plus 3×300 GB (home directories, joined in LVM). Came to me wiped clean, now running Debian 8. Basic Matrox graphics, supported by Xfb.

(Yes, that's a NeXTStation sitting on top.)

a bunch of 701C ThinkPads with a ThinkPad 850 (while none are Hantz + Partner, I have loads of spare new-old stock motherboards and keyboards):

All of these PS/2s with MCA sound cards:

A bunch of PC300s, but the best socket 7 one with a K6-III @ 400 Mhz and 384 MB of EDO memory:

I also have almost every cool IBM mouse ever made (with few exceptions), since these go under the radar:

A hoard of modded ThinkCentres with 3dfx Voodoo 5500s running 98SE with virtual clone drive and utilities for ultimate DOS and 9x gaming:

And of course loads of other things... I had to cut back on my addiction
Re: What IBM Hardware do you have? - epitaxial - 07-04-2018
A few items, an AS/400 (9406-270) running V5R2. A dual core POWER5 running at 1.5GHz and a dual core POWER6 running at 4.2GHz. Both have Linux at the moment but they also run AIX 7.1 just fine. I have a copy of V7R1 for the P6 but never tried installing it.
Re: What IBM Hardware do you have? - tenox - 07-21-2018
I have RS/6000 Notebook 860 with scsi2sd and bunch of OSes on it, Windows NT, OS/2, Solaris, AIX.
