I've never heard even a rumor that such media exists, much less of anyone running it. The short version, from my perspective: I was teaching AIX admin courses at the time, and learned of the ia64 port when it was mentioned in some beta course material. I tried to track down any solid information with the AIX guys here in Austin and my Linux contacts in Durham NC. The official AIX for ia64 beta release, and later the licensed product in 2001/2002, wasn't available for customer installation, or as a media set for customer use. (IBM's later statements that AIX/ia64 was a request-for-quote only item supports that.) It wasn't even called AIX, at least within IBM, it was "Monterey". Further, IBM was not the sole marketing source for Monterey - Caldera/SCO Group and IBM were both marketing Monterey and paying each other royalties. Officially, that is. I've never found any record or rumor of SCO actually selling a copy. This last is mostly scuttlebutt and surmise, but anyone who has worked with IBM will recognize the mindset. When SCO started the infamous IBM lawsuit, I strongly suspect that IBM Legal scoured the planet for Monterey media and made it Gone. Doc
