Well, last I knew .. mind you, this was during last summer .. IBM was
planning on supporting AIX for most (if not all) of their major machines.
And, this includes everything from the PS/2 line to the 360s to the 3090
series.  I have *not* heard anything to the contrary since then, though.  I
understand that they may not be on schedule for all their machines.  But,
their support for AIX is there.  An, remember, OSF is supposedly also
basing their version of Unix on IBM's AIX.  (Yes, as I understand it, that
was the only way IBM would join OSF, but they are still using it.)
