I am holding the official IBM announcment from the internal IBM
marketing database, regarding AIX NextStep. 

The planned availability date is September 28, 1990.
Inlcluded is the Objective-C compiler, Window Server, Desktop Workspace,
Interface Builder, and of course display PostScript.
Cost is $500.  

The only graphics adapter currently supported is the 
Matrox 8-bit Color Adapter 1280 x 1024 Model PG2-1281
The machine requirements for the development environment
are listed as a PS/2 model 70 or 80, 8 MB RAM, 185 MB disk, 80387, 
and a mouse. 

I don't have the RS/6000 version information  here.   I will look it up,
though.  Mail me if you need more details.
