Jim,

Hypothetically speaking, if someone maxed out they interactive capacity
of a 740 12-way, they would have a #1513 Interactive Feature Card, with
a CPW rating of 4550.  This makes the entire processor CPW available as
interactive CPW.

A 740 can be upgraded to an 830 or 840 and the #1513 can be converted to
a #1537 (830) or a #1545 (840).  Both of these interactive feature cards
provide exactly the same interactive CPW, 4550.

Admittedly, IBM's upgrade documentation is difficult to understand and I
may have misinterpreted something.  Are you sure that an MES would force
you to increase your interactive CPW?  I understand that IBM doesn't
consider it an upgrade if you don't increase your processor CPW, but I'm
surprised on the interactive side.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
