IBM's own flavor of UNIX, known as AIX has long been relegated to a handful of IBM's own hardware, most of which has been built around the PowerPC processor architecture. However, IBM, in combination with SCO, worked to create a port of AIX to Itanium. This page documents current known information, attempts to boot, historical context, and more combining everything we known up to this point.
Right now, the dumped images do not boot on any available hardware, nor is there any emulator available. It appears to only be usable with Intel's original Merced Software Development Vehicle, and the HP i2000, both very rare pieces of hardware. However, there's some hope it might be possible to boot it on something else ...
