Gregg, this would have been the 1989-1990 timeframe;  the first
RS/6000 systems running AIX 3 were first pre-released around
that time.  The PC/RT pre-dated that by quite a bit more.

I recall having had, as recently as 5 years ago, some RS/6000
model 520s and 530s in my lab that had stickers with a date
showing when they were updated to meet the GA level... and it
was amazing that they could actually run AIX 4.3.3, albeit not
very quickly.
