Re: New Subject: Series/1

[Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depending on your age, the Series/1 died a very slow death and then
was transformed into the RS/6000. I don't recall the dates, and I
suspect the sales manual doesn't even mention it.

I did find a "tiny" bit of info.... marketing was discontinued in
1991 and service was finally discontinued in 12/31/99.  

If interested, go to the IBM Sales manual and look up 4953,4954,4955
or any of the 4900 family of processors.

Look under inactive hardware.....
