AIX 4.3.3 support for rs/6000 notebooks...850/860?

[tkat]

does AIX 4.3.3 support the 7249-851 (rs6000 850 notebook),
or 7249-860 (rs6000 860 notebook). The reason I ask this is that these products were withdrawn from product support in
late 1998, and all online support was erased, making this
project very, very difficult, but I am getting there!

recently, I found reference to these products on the UK
IBM site at Hursely Research Labs. I did a search for the two products, and got a number of listings titled "e-config
release content" , on which listings, the 850 and 860 were listed alongside 43p-140,150,240,260, etc. I am not familiar with these "release" publications and would like to know what they tell me?

Hello,

If the product was withdrawn in 1998 then IBM does not support this product any more.

You need to find sales manual page on IBM site and if it says the product is withdrawn from market then IBM does not support it anymore, anything you try to do with this product is on your own.
