RE: 820 to 520 Upgrade

Okay, because I'm starting to get concerned.  Everybody is saying that I
need to upgrade my little model 270 to V5R3 before moving it to the new
box (which will probably be a 520).  But I don't have that luxury; the
model 270 is going to stay in semi-retired service as a back-release
machine, at least until all my clients move to newer releases.
