What kind of Unix did they run? There is almost no information on
Wikipedia or elsewhere. I'm just curious because I've heard of PC/IX,
IX/370, and of course I'm *very* famililar with "Ain't Unix" uhhh, I

AIX. :-P I work with it nearly every day. However, I don't know squat

from AT&T (ie IBM would own Unix rather than
AT&T).
There was a political fight within IBM and the Unix center of competency
