The advantage of DVD RAM media is:
- 4.7GB capacity (ok, not much in our times)
- usable with SAV, SAVLIB, SAVOBJ, SAVSYS etc commands
- you can do a GO SAVE,21 onto DVD-RAM and boot from this

In addition you can use LICPGM option 40 to create custom install media with PTFs already applied to DVD-RAM. A complete set with i 7.1 and all LPPs fits on 5 DVD-RAMs.

Maybe you can get your hands on an iseries dvd ram drive which cam be
used for a savsys directly. Works great.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a web reference? What is a DVD RAM drive?
