IBM moved the AS/400 onto POWER processors. The TIMI (sp?) firmware
made this doable and binaries were portable from the old hardware. The
OS was renamed i5/OS.

Later they replaced the proprietary POWER hardware with generic POWER
servers, and they renamed the OS to IBM i.

IBM supports 3 OSes on POWER servers now: AIX, Linux and IBM i.

Silly name, though.
