AIX for IBM system 370

[Guy Sotomayor]

From what I recall, microchannel PS/2’s with a 386, 486 or Pentium.  I don’t recall if it was
ever run on an ISA based PS/2.

AIX PS/2 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and it’s final release 1.3 (which at the end had quarterly updates that added
new HW support in each update…but I don’t recall how those were labelled).
