Hans,

It's Monday morning and I've only had two cups of coffee, so I'm sure its my problem, but please explain:

For the iSeries to grow beyond the 16MB space limitation while maintaining
the SLS architecture, it needs a CPU that supports >64-bit addressing.

16MB requires only 24-bit addresses, which is why S/370 could fit an instruction and an address in a 32-bit word.
Why are you saying 64 bits are needed?

Regards,

Bill
