I _think_ AIX-POWER predates the PS/2 version, but I'm not certain. I
would be glad to compare system file ctimes on the relative releases, if
I had a copy of the PS/2 distribution.
Hint, hint, wink wink....
Well, sort of. AIX has a custom kernel, but was
designed to be easily
ported to other architectures - namely Intel architectures. This is
Erm, methinks this copy of AIX-PS/2 I have is older than any RS/6000...
so unless they used AIX on the RT/PC (which I don't think they did),
I'm going to go with "ported to other architectures - namely POWER".
