AIX-PS2 came out after the RT/PC AIX - and was never popular. Like the concept of putting what was supposed to be an enterprise OS on "toy" hardware - although I remember charging $3,000 - $10,000 for large disks (300MB) on PS/2 Servers around 1987,88. The margins were wonderful then.... By the early '90s we used to charge $15,000 for upgrade memory for large AIX systems - and that was at a 50% discount from IBM's list price. Someday I'll have to look up in our archives to see how much memory that bought (for sure not a lot by todays standards!).
