Barry,

A 5065 can be converted to a 5074 which is then HSL connected directly
to your 820.  This is part of IBM's transition strategy to phase out
SPD.

If anyone out there has an investment in SPD (who doesn't), you'd better
be thinking about how you'll transition to a non-SPD configuration.  The
new boxes won't support SPD and probably the O/S after V5R2 won't
support it at all, on any model (IBM has not said exactly that, but read
the Sept. 2001 Statement of Direction).  IBM or some vendor is going to
make a lot a dough on this.  If you have 10K RPM disk drives, you
probably can repackage them into one of the PCI HSL connected towers.

So everyone, what are you guys doing about your SPD investments.......

Subject: 5065 Migration Tower


All

We are looking at replacing an 720 with a 820 (not an upgrade just a
replacement)
The 720 currently has a 5065 (full of DASD) attached to it. We would
like to use the 5065 on the replacement 820, but the manual goes on
about a migration tower being needed. Is it possible to attach the 5065
to the 820 without a migration tower in the way!

Thanks for the help.
