Correct. However, from what I've read, the iSeries really is a pSeries hardware-wise, but with another layer of firmware on top called the TIMI (Technology Independent Machine Interface). I can't find much out about TIMI. It almost sounds something like a Java JVM. IBM could possibly implement TIMI on any underlying architecture and the iSeries software would still work the same. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: Ein Stein. Maranatha!
