Many of our RISC/6000 workstations are model 320H machines, so the
simple answer is "yes". We currently have 320, 320H, and 520 machines.
The basic port should work on almost any flavor RISC/6000 machine
running AIX 3.1.6 (2006) or 3.1.7 (2007).
- Our installation procedures and update procedures have only been
tested on the models we have, but other than that, our core Athena
software is independent of the hardware configuration.
- The software may or may not work with 3.1.5; various changes had to
be made to support 3.1.6, because the X server startup semantics
were changed between the 3005 and 2006 AIX releases.
