AIX doesn't "probably require" MCA. It's supported ISA machines since version 1.2.1. The support is second class, but it's there. The reasons for it to fail virtualization are totally unrelated to microchannel.

Has anyone got a suggestion on what I may need to change to be able to install this quite curious OS ?

Have you tried at the betaarchive - it seems it can be done with older versions VirtualPC.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to try on a lab machine tomorrow. Don't have a windows box here.

I'll be damned then. I guess it makes sense since some of the early machines AIX ran on used the AT bus.

In any case, good luck.

hmm...a IBM PS/2 MODEL CL57 SX is available in my area. is it worth to get it and try AIX 1.3 on it btw. is the 80MB harddisk enough?
http://ps-2.kev009.com:8081/ohlandl/AIX ... ments.html talks about space reqs but i'm not entirely clear about.

Code:
i386SX, 20 MHz
Math. Coprocessor i387SL
10 MB Ram
1x int 1,44 MB Floppy
LCD VGA 10,4
80 MB Micro Channel HD
Battery dead (of course)
maybe mca network card in communication port (awaiting sellers response)

80 MB is enough for a minimal installation. You may find it "charmingly old school" or "uncomfortable" depending on your particular cultural bias and outlook on life.

Having "installp" you may find it refreshingly modern. :)
