Re: IBM Power Systems enhances its server and I/O options

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But IBM has never said that a disk unit in a Power System that works for 
one release would not work for the next release in that same system. 
There have been a few where a particular load source disk size 
requirement changed but the disk itself was still supported. AND you 
couldn't start the upgrade if you didn't fix this first.

AND IBM's pre-req checks tell you when you have things that are not 
supported. I can recall the QIC-13GB "Wheel Chock" as a tape drive that 
fell out of support in early V5 days and there have been a couple other 
cards (a particular quad modem comes to mind) but never cratering your 
entire disk!
