Good luck in finding media for AIX PS/2. As far as I
know, it was never
released on
CDROM and the last version I had was ~53 3.5? floppies
(long gone now
unfortunately)
and *only* worked on specific PS/2 hardware (no BIOS ?
all drivers went
straight
to the ?metal?).

Nope, AIX 1.3 is readily available. It's over on http://ps-2.kev009.com if
you know where to look along with a rather massive amount of documentation
and (VERY HANDY) installation instructions. I can confirm that it will work
on a stock IBM 8580 and you can get several different flavours of window
system if you wanna roll that way. I put a video on Youtube a few years ago
of a running machine when it was still rather badly configured. I briefly
had it working on the model 55SX as well but because I was not labling the
disks as I wrote them I went out-of-sequence somewhere and frustratingly
couldn't find Disk 15.
