As I recall, V3R0M5 was really just V2R3M0, with some special fixes to run on the then-new "black box" CISC IMPI AS/400 models, that could later be field upgraded to RISC models. It was never intended to be a real full release, but was just to carry customers over until V3R1 was ready. If you recall, V3R1 (and V3R6 for RISC) was one of the largest releases of OS/400 up to that time, and there were many problems. It did not totally settle down until V3R2 (and V3R7).
