RE: V4R5 to V5R2

The biggie so far is 3995 Optical Library C40 attached to 2621 IOP as
the V5R1 Release planning info shows it as not being supported and the
suggested replacement is:

Replace the 2621 IOP with a 6354, 2729 or 2749 attached via a 2621 iop
(????)

Also of concern (I have a LOT of items in this category, including 6050
Twinax WS Controller, all my comm lines, etc) are  then items listed as:

Although the following I/O features are supported on V5R1 they may
experience performance limitations.  In unusual and sever replacement
with alternative feature may be required.

I haven't gotten to the V5R2 harware items yet, let alone the
software!!!

Thank you IBM!

   Most of the time hardware that is "No Longer Supported" doesn't work.
i.e. 
13GB QIC Drive varies on but failes immediately upon attempts to use it.
Some 
older reel tape drives no workie, 2.5GB 8MM drive not supported.

   WHich items are you questioning?
