Will AIX 4.1.4.0 work on this Apple Network Server 700? After a shocking amount of effort, I will manage to get something going.

Without the help of Floodgap ANSwers, this video would not have been possible. Many, many thanks to the maintainer of that site!

Special thanks to SuperSVGA and OldSkull on the PDX Retro Forest Discord for helping me out with Diagnostic Utility disk.
