The migration towers went away a while ago also.

It's all right here:

It's a hardware deal, not software per se... It's PCI or nothing,
which is IBM's new "upgrade method", but in fairness to them,
they started talking about doing away with SPD several years
ago.

The problem being that you have no SPD slots to plug those cards into....
