Converting from Twinax to Lan Console should be pretty painless.

Look for a RISC to RISC migration document.

What version of OS is on the 800.

Is there a documented plan for upgrading (side by side) a Model 800 (V5R4)
to a Model 520 Express?
I've searched IBM for a while, found nothing, and assume not. But the BP
left the impression w/customer (and he perhaps misunderstood) it's a
supported upgrade.
Also, losing the twinax console on the 800 for lan console on new system.
I've done unsupported upgrades before but wanted to check.
Any recent experience gotchas?
