Talk:IBM System p

message: Most models have an IDE bus
: This seems very odd to me, from a cursory check, it seems that SCSI is the predominant disk bus among the RS/6000 models (as it probably should be, in the "big irons"). Any ideas? --Uriyan
:This was originally posted to Talk:RS in 2002, back when this page was named RS/6000, but I've history merged the post and the text here. Graham87 12:12, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

message: This page is practically worthless. I wish I could add something useful but I came here looking for information on some systems I recovered. Even the pathetic AS/400 page has more data. dreddnott 21:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Great work on creating a section of System p hardware through the ages. This list, however, competely takes over the entire article. Wouldn't it be better to create an article of its own, lets say List of System p hardware, and just keep the current models on this page? -- Henriok (talk) 00:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After my recent edits to make the section in question more "tidy", it has become obvious that the article deals more with the RS/6000 than the System p. I think it would be better if we stopped redirecting "RS/6000" and all the other former names of the System p to this article and turn those redirects into articles for discussing the machines that used those names. If there are no objections, I will carry this out in a week or so. Rilak (talk) 08:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The table is very large and tedious to edit. It would be more manageable to edit if it was splitting into neat little chunks. Since I just put the existing list into table format, I'm asking for comments as to how the table should be splitting just in case someone had a system set up that I didn't know about. I propose that the table be split up into "Types". For example, most of the Model 2xx systems belong under "Type 7011". I'm assuming that "Type" denotes a common system architecture, so splitting the table up like this will also permit future comment on a group of systems that share common characteristics. The "Types" will then be grouped into application, for example, low-end servers/workstations, mid-range, high-end and so to make the existing information more useful. Currently it is hard for people to put the systems into context as most of the entries do not have specifications that will at least give hints as to what the system is used for (example: the 24 CPU Model S80 is not likely to be a workstation). What does everyone think? Rilak (talk) 10:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  RS/6000 table 

message: IBM eServer pSeries just redirects back here, as "eServer pSeries" -> "System p" was a name change.  Was "RS/6000" -> "eServer pSeries" a name change, or did it also reflect a split between PowerStation workstations and eServer pSeries servers? Guy Harris (talk) 18:39, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  eServer pSeries is here, should the RS/6000 be too?
