There are multiple IBM platforms; a redirect is inappropriate. A disambiguation page might be appropriate. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 15:52, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for letting me know about this!

What are the other "IBM platforms" available? What source explains all of the platforms available? This can help form a disambiguation page. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:25, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

That depends on how far back you want to go. In general, IBM has the following current platforms, most of which have Wiki articles; the names may have changed:

  • Architectures
    • z/Architecture

You may want to limit the disambiguation to the above. For older stuff, look at

But watch out for errors in nomenclature

There's a lot of stuff at http://bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm on the older platforms.

Note that IBM sold off its PC business, although it still sells Intel servers under the xSeries (System x) name. There may be some that I've overlooked. Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 19:48, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
