Are you sure that networking the two is out of the question?
1. You did not indicate the Windows version or pSeries machine type/model. AFAIK, every pSeries model built in the last 10 years or more has a built-in Ethernet adapter. And a Windows PC likely either has one or one can be bought for very little money. Depending on the type of adapters, a cross-over cable or some other very simple physical connection will get these two machines connected. If this is an option, try it first. If you need help with the software configuration of the networking, ask back here.
2. There is also the option of using SLIP/PPP link between the systems using a TTY serial port. It will be slow, but it will work. Each system likely has a free TTY port. The cable you need is called a null-modem cable, and the number of pins and gender on each cable end will vary. If you want more advice on this option, ask back again. The Windows configuration of SLIP/PPP is found here: MS Windows SLIP/PPP FAQ from UNET or here http://www.sics.se/~bg/telos/slipintro.pdf
And the AIX configuration is found here: Asynchronous Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Subsystem

rp

RP(4)							     Kernel Interfaces Manual							     RP(4)

NAME

       rp - RP-11/RP03 moving-head disk

DESCRIPTION

       The  files  rp0 ... rp7 refer to sections of RP disk drive 0.  The files rp8 ... rp15 refer to drive 1 etc.  This allows a large disk to be
       broken up into more manageable pieces.

       The origin and size of the pseudo-disks on each drive are as follows:

	    disk start	   length
	    0	 0    81000
	    1	 0    5000
	    2	 5000 2000
	    3	 7000 74000
	    4-7  unassigned

       Thus rp0 covers the whole drive, while rp1, rp2, rp3 can serve usefully as a root, swap, and mounted user file system respectively.

       The rp files access the disk via the system's normal buffering mechanism and may be read  and  written  without	regard	to  physical  disk
       records.   There  is also a `raw' interface which provides for direct transmission between the disk and the user's read or write buffer.  A
       single read or write call results in exactly one I/O operation and therefore raw I/O is considerably more efficient  when  many	words  are
       transmitted.   The  names of the raw RP files begin with rrp and end with a number which selects the same disk section as the corresponding
       rp file.

       In raw I/O the buffer must begin on a word boundary.

FILES

       /dev/rp?, /dev/rrp?

       hp(4)

BUGS

       In raw I/O read and write(2) truncate file offsets to 512-byte block boundaries, and write scribbles on	the  tail  of  incomplete  blocks.
       Thus, in programs that are likely to access raw devices, read, write and lseek(2) should always deal in 512-byte multiples.
