S/38 only had the CISC IMPI; AS/400 had both IMPI and PowerAS RISC. Just say they used 48-bit addresses. Next edit →
Line 8: ==Addressing== The [[IBM System/38]], and the [[AS/400]], in its [[complex instruction set computer\|CISC]] variants, ~~are~~use 48-bit ~~addressing systems~~addresses. The address size used in [[logical block addressing]] was increased to 48 bits with the introduction of [[AT Attachment#ATA standards versions, transfer rates, and features\|ATA-6]]. The [[Ext4]] file system physically limits the file block count to 48 bits. The minimal implementation of the [[x86-64]] architecture provides 48-bit addressing encoded into 64 bits; future versions of the architecture can expand this without breaking properly written applications.
