Wow, so the "x86" version of AIX truly existed!

I had long heard rumour of this, and had heard of it from sources I was
inclined to trust not to be making it up.  The dates seem to decently
explain the invisibility; introduction in 1992 and withdrawal in March 1995
left but a brief period of time when anyone would have been willing to
acknowledge it as a product.
