I am no longer sure when support for microchannel was dropped from AIX, 
I have always been on the hardware side with limited involvement with 
software.   Doing a quick look it would seem that it is likely that some 
level of version 5 was the last one.  Version 6.1 was 64 bit only and 
required a POWER4 or later processor.
