   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).
