Re: Power 8 EOS

Hi Patrik,

I have a P01.

It was purchased for taking to trade shows and conferences to demonstrate
our software.

It was excellent for that and ran all the licensed programs so any
development was possible.

It was twinax and from memory would support one string of twinax devices,
we used to have to terminals and a printer at a demo. (Sometimes left the
printer behind, it was heavier than th

Still sits in it's carry case under a desk in the office, albeit it has
not been powered u in many a year and the only twinax terminal that remains
is a bit dodgy.

Cheers

Don

As Patrik points out his system is the last try at it.

Thank you. But… not exactly the last. Allow me to kindly remind about the
model 150, which is newer and although much bigger than a P03 but still
comparatively small. According to what I've read online, it was meant as a
system for either developers, or a low-end production machine. The OS not
requiring lickeys provenly for at least V4R5 (probably earlier) was
allegedly the result of massive outcry from customers needing a development
system while IBM wanted fully charge fees for the OS in the beginning.

A 150 is obviously not as portable as a P03, though. To my knowledge, the
latter was meant as a demonstration system to convince a possible
customer's management that buying an AS/400 is the best thing since sliced
bread. :-)

:wq! PoC
