Sure, but z is a tough system to bring into the fold.... I doubt we'll see z
on our (i and p) platform right away. I have no doubt that it's on its way.

The trend towards hardware platform consolidation has been long in the
making...

It's the eCLipz (enhanced core logic for iSeries, pSeries and z Series)
project..... Rumors abound, but IBM isn't talking about it....

David -

I was told by someone in the know that with the P6 hardware that the
mainframe was going to be assimilated into this hardware architecture.

I.E., IBM will announce the availability of z/OS on the new P6 midrange
hardware platform...

I heard from a co-worker, who was at COMMON UK, that Frank Soltis
announced that there were new System p models using the Power 6
technology where the chip speed is 4.7 GHZ with no special cooling
requirements. Apparently Intel could not do this and had to withdraw
their fast processors from the market a while back. He was thrilled.
When they pre-announced last year clock speeds of 4-5 in the press some
analysts called them liars. He seemed vindicated.

He also mentioned to expect new System i models NEXT year using this
technology.
