Haven't personally used the IBM "iSeries 7" operating systems, for
which the link on that page is broken, or the new "iPower 8". And note
that "iPower 8" is an ad, there's no hint that it is also compatible
with old AS/400 hardware or old OS/400 software.

When vendors start getting squirrelly about operating system names and
compatibility, I take it as "time to start over from scratch with a
new OS".
