Hardware Microcode

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am looking for a website (an IBM site?) that has the microcode for
printers, tape drives, AS/400, RS/6000 etc etc, publicly available for
download.

I have been told (by two separate IBM Business Partners) that here in the
UK, microcode is only available to clients with IBM Hardware Support
Contracts; I am guessing that elsewhere in the world, IBM cannot get away
with such a restrictive practice (IMHO).

I will be interested to hear your comments, and even more pleased to receive
the URL!
