https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_Power_Series https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_ThinkPad_Power_Series lists 8 models and says 1994-98, which is a long time ago but certainly isn't nothing, and says they ran AIX, Solaris, and Windows NT.
- glhaynes 2y agoFunny to hear there were ~8 models because my impression has always been that they sold ~8 of them total.
- sillywalk 2y agoThese machines cost $12,000+ in 1990s dollars. I think it's probably more accurate to say that a version(s) of AIX, Solaris, NT ( and I think a beta of OS/2) technically existed briefly for some models. While some commercial software might have been ported, I doubt it was ever officially supported. Except perhaps some AIX software? I assume it was binary compatible with PowerPC AIX.
