Re: Windows on ibm power

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're talking about the IxS - Integrated xSeries Server.  It was a PC
on a card.
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/advantages/integratedserver/ixs/index.html

Formally known as, INS, IPCS, or FSIOP.

Contrast with IxA - Integrated xSeries Adapter, a card that let an
external xSeries box use the iSeries disk.

Both IxA and IxS have been withdrawn from marketing in favor of using
iSCSI to attached an external PC.

HTH,
Charles
