Thought nowadays zSeries was really a bunch of Power chips under the

microcoded 3X0s?

I don't know about the FICON and ESCON cards, but the OSA's used Power processor in them. The main CP's are NOT Power chips, they are "mainframe" CPU's. I not even sure what to call them, z9, z990, z900, or 390 architecture, but they are not Power.
