Well at my office we've been running AIX on A PS/80 since at least some time
before the summer of 1990. So you can run it on a IBM 80386 platform, even
if it does have to be a MCA bus type.

(we used the PS/2 80 because at that time there wasn't a cheaper solution
on a stable platform. Great stuff, I remember when the prject started we had
bunch of AIX programmers on loan from IBM, all in one room, full of the
huge 21 inch X Monitors.... we called it the Bat Cave. :) )
