This is very interesting.  We had a V3R2M0 machine reipl
itself about 3 weeks ago.  I never did find out why it did it,
but the CD drive was empty, now that I think about it.

Our V3R7M0 machine always has a CD rom in the drive,
the blue book manual, and it has never done this.

This is... intriging.  Sounds like a Windows type of problem,
not something you would find on the AS/400.

Regards,

Jim Langston
