From: Peter Dow (ML) You're still trying to compare OS/400 to Windows. What Walden and I are talking about is OS400 V5R1 vs V5R2 vs V5R3 vs V5R3 -- I have a general feeling that things have gotten progressively more stable, but I have no numbers to back that up. Hardware-wise, I'm even more clueless. I have two old 170s, both of which just died recently -- one the MFIOP went bad; the other I'm still not sure yet; however, they lasted for years with no problems whatsoever. How do I compare that to whatever the latest equivalent box is?
Gotcha. I couldn't really tell you. From a software side, you might try comparing PTF releases year to year. Hardware, the only thing I can think of is anecdotal. I don't think there are any published numbers. Heck, I'd like to just have the number of beige boxes still out there. Joe
