AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) is a Unix port originally developed by IBM and released in 1986 for the IBM RT 6150, a RISC based desktop workstation. It was later ported to the RS/6000, POWER, and PowerPC platforms as well as IBM System i, System/370 mainframes, and the PS/2 personal computers, and the Apple Network Server.

  • How do you install this on a actual PS/2. I have a Model 70 486. How do image the floppies?
  • In IBM AIX 1.3, Boot_(ESDI)_02.img is actually the bootable disk #1, and Boot_(ESDI)_01.img is boot disk #2. If your emulator won't boot from the floppies, try Plop Boot Manager.
  • You can write raw floppy disk images like these to floppy disks using dskimg.exe or rawrite.exe in dos, or dd in any unix-like OS, or whatever other tools for working with floppy disk images can handle a raw 1474560 byte image.

    I should also add that the 1.3 X.25 disk 2 image is missing and has an extra copy of TCP/IP disk 2 in its place
