My ann ltr reference was not actually to the first announce of the P/390
card (just a ref. I had 'close by'). I actually thought we (IBM) used
R/390 for the RS/6000 version and P/390 for the PC Server version - but
this ann. ltr. did not. I checked one of the redbooks on the subject and
realized that this naming stuff is not an easy subject :-)
See this reference (page 11):
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg244847.pdf
I think the answer to your question is yes and no :-)
No - the P/390 is the name of the Card (P=PCI?) (that started with the
PC Server implementation)
Yes - The P/390 in the RS/6000 implementation is referred to as R/390
(and RS/6000 support came later than the PC support)
lots of disclaimers

Birger,
Was this the old R/390 follow-on to the P/390?
