You put a P/390 on the same bus (PCI or MCA) as an ARTIC960 card and the

Peace... Sridhar
But the P/390 does. And if you need more
horsepower than can be
provided by a P/390E, then you can set up an emulated mainframe with
Hercules addressing the peripherals attached to the P/390 over the
network.
I'm confused. I thought the P/390 didn't have any bus & tag connectors
on it.... in addition, it's a microchannel card right? Making it less
likely to run in a common PC?
I just skimmed some docs on the P/390 and don't see any way that bus &
tag devices hook up to it?
