The RISC System/6000, or RS/6000 for short, is a family of RISC and UNIX based servers, workstations and supercomputers made by IBM in the 1990s. The RS/6000 family replaced the IBM RT computer platform in February 1990 and was the first computer line to see the use of IBM's POWER and PowerPC based microprocessors. RS/6000 was renamed eServer pSeries in October 2000.

Our unit is an IBM RS/6000 Model 550L using RISC with an IBM AIX 3.2.5.1 operating system.
Machine type: 7013, Machine Model 550L, Machiner ID 77
RAM: 192MB
