Single-level storage would require fundamental changes in Unix such that it wouldn't be Unix anymore, although this feature does live on in IBM mainframe products (the 'i' and 'z' series, I believe).

System I (called Eserver I series from 2001 to 2005, and a bunch of other things before that) does, but the System Z operating systems are about as far as you can get from it.

"mainframe" isn't a very meaningful word these days, but to most people it simply means IBM System Z. Nobody uses the word for System I.

Thanks for correction.

I said that because I had read an article by an IBM shill about SLS in IBM products. They *were* speaking specifically about the I-series but kept making statements about how "IBM mainframe users just expect this sort of feature" so I assumed it was more widespread. :<
