I guess I’ve never bothered…. Well I have used it, and installed it on a PS/2 model 80 before. I used to think the emulation (well of the time, circa 2004) was pretty horrible, then I installed it on a real machine with supported hardware.

AIX on the PS/2 is horribly unstable.

And I don’t think it has any real claim other than name to AIX on the 370 nor AIX on the POWER processor.

In all honesty even back then, Xenix was a far better Unix.

Aren’t you curious about it (running it in qemu or an other virtual machine software) ?
Please visit http://ps-2.kev009.com/ohlandl/AIX_1-3/AIX_Index.html for more infos, you can find also the floppy disk images for it.
According to the mentioned site, it can be run also on non-PS/2 (but Intel) machines….
