I am pretty sure it runs on some IBM PPC proc... At least that's what I
gathered when IBM sent some guy to give what amounted to a sales pitch to
our LUG. Could be wrong, but I dont really think so. BTW I mean MODERN
eg. zSeries, not old. Anyways, IBM did have their S/390 on a card that
they sold with their P/390 'developer's systems' in the early 90s. I'd
imagine those used a microprocessor...
