Re: Upgrading and AS/400

[Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The two platforms are really the same line, but the hardware architecture 
was updated a lot in the iSeries. That's one of the ways to differentiate. 
With the exception of some of the 270s produced in 2000 that were labeled 
"AS/400" instead of "iSeries" (because the announcement had not been 
made), the iSeries are all the newer architecture. By that, I mean that 
SPD was not supported and HSL was the way to go, etc...

Greg:
An AS/400 is an I-Series. IBM changed the name years ago. Even some IBM 
people call it an AS/400 instead of an I-Series.
