In developing AIX, IBM and Interactive Systems Corporation ( whom IBM contracted ) also incorporated source code from 4. 2 and 4. 3 BSD UNIX.

The original AIX ( sometimes called AIX / RT ) was developed for the IBM 6150 RT workstation by IBM in conjunction with Interactive Systems Corporation, who had previously ported UNIX System III to the IBM PC for IBM as PC / IX.

AIX PS / 2 ( also known as AIX / 386 ) was developed by Locus Computing Corporation under contract to IBM.

Burroughs was one of the eight major United States computer companies ( with IBM, the largest, Honeywell, NCR Corporation, Control Data Corporation, General Electric, RCA and UNIVAC ) through most of the 1960s.

The six computer manufacturers were Burroughs Corporation, IBM, Minneapolis-Honeywell ( Honeywell Labs ), RCA, Sperry Rand, and Sylvania Electric Products.

These gifted executives, along with other key contributors, including Kevin Ellington, Douglas Johns, Steven Flannigan, and Gary Stimac, helped the company with the IBM Corporation in all personal computer sales categories, after many predicted that none could compete with the behemoth.

A standard for MIDI over USB was developed in 1999 as a joint effort between IBM, Microsoft, Altec Lansing, Roland Corporation, and Philips.

Architectures with instruction sets implemented by complex microprograms included the IBM System / 360 and Digital Equipment Corporation VAX.

After World War II, Watson began work to further the extent of IBM's influence abroad and in 1949, the year he stepped down, created the IBM World Trade Corporation in order to oversee IBM's foreign business.

# Arthur K. Watson served as president of IBM World Trade Corporation and later as Ambassador to France.

The term " Wake on LAN " is a trademark of IBM Corporation.

Project Athena ( a joint project between Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ), MIT and IBM to provide easy access to computing resources for all students ) needed a platform-independent graphics system to link together its heterogeneous multiple-vendor systems ; the window system then under development in Carnegie Mellon University's Andrew Project did not make licenses available, and no alternatives existed.

The Tandy 1000 was the first in a line of more-or-less IBM PC compatible home computer systems produced by the Tandy Corporation for sale in its Radio Shack chain of stores.

IBM enhanced one of GM-NAA I / O's successors, the SHARE Operating System, and provided it to customers under the name IBSYS.

In 1980, after promising to deliver IBM a Disk Operating System ( DOS ) they had not yet developed for the Intel 8088-based IBM PC, Allen spearheaded a deal for Microsoft to purchase a Quick and Dirty Operating System ( QDOS ) written by Tim Paterson who, at the time, was employed at Seattle Computer Products.

Looking back over the history of its development, BS2000 / OSD has its roots in the TSOS operating system ( TSOS: Time Sharing Operating System ) first developed by RCA for the / 46 model of the Spectra / 70 series, a computer family of the late 1960s related in its architecture to IBM ’ s / 360 series.

BOS / 360 ( Basic Operating System / 360 ) was an early IBM System / 360 operating system.

BOS was one of four System / 360 Operating System Versions developed by the IBM General Products Division ( GPD ) in Endicott, NY to fill a gap at the low end of the System / 360 line when it became apparent that OS / 360 was not able to run on the smallest systems.

This usage arose because administration of IBM mainframes often involved the writing of custom assembler code ( IBM's Basic Assembly Language-" BAL "), which integrated with the Operating System such as OS / MVS, DOS / VSE or VM / CMS.

Initially the system was prototyped on Sun Microsystems machines, and then to IBM 6150 RT series computers running a special IBM Academic Operating System.

Disk Operating System / 360, also DOS / 360, or simply DOS, was an operating system for IBM mainframes.

* Attached Support Processor, one of the two early IBM System / 360 programs that replaces the native SPOOL facilities of OS / 360 ; the other was Houston Automatic Spooling Priority ( HASP ).

Originally released for the IBM 6150 RISC workstation, AIX now supports or has supported a wide variety of hardware platforms, including the IBM RS / 6000 series and later IBM POWER and PowerPC-based systems, IBM System i, System / 370 mainframes, PS / 2 personal computers, and the Apple Network Server.

AIX Version 1, introduced in 1986 for the IBM 6150 RT workstation, was based on UNIX System V Releases 1 and 2.

Among other variants, IBM later produced AIX Version 3 ( also known as AIX / 6000 ), based on System V Release 3, for their IBM POWER-based RS / 6000 platform.

Since 1990, AIX has served as the primary operating system for the RS / 6000 series ( later renamed IBM eServer pSeries, then IBM System p, and now IBM Power Systems ).

In 2003, the SCO Group alleged that ( among other infractions ) IBM had misappropriated licensed source code from UNIX System V Release 4 for incorporation into AIX ; SCO subsequently withdrew IBM's license to develop and distribute AIX.

AIX / 370 was released in 1990 with functional equivalence to System V Release 2 and 4. 3BSD as well as IBM enhancements.
