Yup, the optical is going to need changing.

Which reel tape drive do you have? Better be 9348 or you're in trouble...

The rest of the stuff you have will still work. Depending on how hard you're driving the rest of the stuff you may have to shuffle comm lines.

We have lots of customers running the stuff indicated as having performance limitations but nobody has experienced any related issues. This includes some fairly large 730's that run pretty hard all day.

I would definetely look at your upgrade path and plant seeds for a replacement box with 'da boss'.

OK, I have gone thru the IBM Release Planning Info (phew!!!) and come up
with the following for my 720.
I understand that I WILL have to upgrade/change the Optical as it is
definitely not supported which from what I understand means it will
fail.
My question to the list is what is everyones experience with the "May
experience performance limitations" items. Surely someone has some of
them still running on V4R5 or did everyone make the "suggested" IBM
replacements?
Again, thanks to the list and all its great emembers for the help so
far.
