Can someone provide me with a listing of RS/6000-pseries-Power systems minimum hardware level required to run AIX 6.1 and AIX 7.1?

For example, would AIX 7.1 run correctly on a B80?  Any systems prior to DVD drives (considering the DVD limited install media)?  AIX 6.1 installs via CD, but is there a limit to the hardware compatibility (surely it won't run correctly on the early CD systems - like an old 325)?

Search through the AIX release notes and check the "required hardware" section.

6.1:

I was kind of hoping for a list by machine models; however, what was provided will work, albeit, after logging into each system and checking the defined processor type.  Solution works for 7.1, but is erring for 6.1 as noted below:

I will check again later; however, as of this writing, the release notes for AIX 6.1 fail with a java error:
