Sorry, there was a reason that the 55 was not listed, it is an 386SX based
system if memory servers, and it is VERY different in its firmware and hardware
from the Model 80's or 70's (386 based) and 50's or 60's (286 based). I would
talk very carefully with any hardware vendor before purchasing addon's for
it. I remember some limitations with respect to AIX on this hardware as well,
but don't recall the details off the top of my head.
