P01 was a CISC system.  Model 150 was a RISC system, circa V3R7.

P01???  is that the 150 model?  i had one of those years ago...for a 1
person machine it was okay...add users and it really sucked.  just not
enough bang for the way too many bucks.

Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Well, yeah, that's the point.  Not only better pricing, but about a
gazillion times more processing power.

But I think a smaller form factor (what would in effect be a portable demo
model) might make it easier to sell to Mom and Pop shops or small chains.
