   Ehhh, that'd be a matter of interpretation, on both counts.  As far 
as I know, the 7043-260 was the last system badged "RS/6000".  The 
current pSeries, both POWER4- and POWER5-based, are architecturally 
different enough from their ancestors to make "just a name change" not 
tenable.  The OS is the only real point of overlap.

   The changes from AS/400 to iSeries are comparable.
