I am not familiar with an AIX/2.

AIX 2 was the RT version of AIX for the old RT risc box (V2.0 to V2.2.2).
AIX 1 (AKA ``AIX PS/2'') is the old PeeCee AIX (Versions 1.1, 1.2.1, 1.3).
AIX 3 and AIX 4 are the RS6K and beyond versions.

But, this is degenerating into an alt/folklore thingy.... now back
to VAX.... thinking VAX..... living VAX.... eating VAX.....(:+}}...
Smelling the VAX flowers......(or was that dustbunnies?).....(:+\\...
