Running AIX 5.1 32bit ppc PReP guest VM under qemu-system-ppc (thanks to Artyom Tarasenko's qemu patches) under Ubuntu 20.04 aarch64 on the RPI4 (this does not work on the stock Debian image for RPI4 - NOOBS)
Networking is done via -net nic -net tap (and tap0 bridged via br0 bridge)

Getting the remote CDE via Xephyr on the RPI4 and putting it in fullscreen makes almost a native UNIX/CDE experience.
Tiny LCD that is attached to the RPI4 board is a 5' 800x480 Waveshare LCD
