Re: Question of a Newbie to iSeries

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you'd like a little deeper look into the box...

I'd recommend the book, Fortress Rochester: The Inside Story of the
IBM iSeries , by Dr. Frank G. Soltis the "Father" of the System/38 and
it's successor the AS/400.

Some of the specific hardware information is out of date, as the book
was written at the time of the POWER4 processors....but the hardware
behavior is much the same and the software side, OS & LIC, is
basically the same.

There's also an older book, Inside the AS/400, also by Dr. Soltis.
Most of the material in the old book is also in the new one.

HTH,
Charles
