In order to be able to boot AIX 1.3 qcow2 image qemu needs to be patched with the i8259 patch
The patch is compatible with the latest git Qemu version https://github.com/qemu/qemu so git clone
that and apply the patch.
Once done copy all the above files to your working directory and unzip them.
execute run-vga.sh and boot from floppy disks as shown on this video

Make sure to choose boot from floppy
Module to be loaded: unix.gen

To start the 1337 X session just run startx or xinit :)
To compile C code you can try the super-cool GCC 1.39

Enjoy the early 1990s retro UNIX experience
