I have an IBM RT 6151 model 115 (advanced Processor Card with 4 MB of fast 
memory (sic), 70 MB Extended ESDI Fixed-Disk Drive) + etherned card and
floating point accelerator.

I'm trying to reinstall (from scratch) an operating system.

1) Is AOS4.3 still available, from where, for how much ?

2) Does AIX 2.2.1 fit on a 70 MB disk ? 

3) Considering that I want to use this RT only for e-mail and remote login on
other hosts (not computation nor programmming), if I have the choice between AOS
and AIX, which one should I chose ?

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks

Don't think so. Latest versions are AOS/VS 7.69 Classic and AOS/VS II 2.10

Never heard of it.

I think you have the wrong newsgroup.  this is for the Data General AOS and
AOS/VS operating systems, not IBM.  Sorry.
Cheers.
