RE: Power 8 supports 7.1?

Can Power8 use any pre Power8 hardware.
Mainly the SSD drives?

I saw that the Power 8 will run 7.1 at TR8 or later.

From the archives...wondering if this is still the case..

Steve Will responded with these corrections:
=================================================== The next generation of servers following POWER7® / POWER7+™ is not planned to support IBM i 6.1 and will require IBM i 7.1, or later.

That'd be nice, as it'd give me an upgrade path from my 515 running 7.1 to a Power 8 running 7.1 followed by an upgrade to 7.2
