    I have an 820 in fully working condition running win NT 3.5 and AIX 4.2.1
    but there is not much you can do with it….

    Do you have WX86.EXE for PPC?

    The ARC bootdisk?

    One of these days I'll get around to listing my Type 6020 (Woodfield) on eBay (it's the "IBM Internal Use Only" predecessor to the Power Thinkpad 820 and 850). Since none of them were ever supposed to leave IBM, it is truly a rare beast -- and like most
    of the Power Thinkpads, it's "mostly worthless" from a functional perspective (not great even when new compared to the RS/6000 workstations). But it can run Windows NT 4.0 (just need the boot diskette and a standard NT install CD), OS/2 for PPC (if you
    can find it, and even if you do, it's "enhanced uselessness"), AIX 4.1.4 to AIX 4.2.1 (again, just need install media) and Linux (if you can find a version of PowerPC Linux that has boot media that supports the 6020, was rare back in the day and is
    almost unobtanium today).
