Marc,

   Moving from a 300 your upgrade path is either a 600 or a 620. The
issue becomes do you want to get rid of all your existing AS/400 cards
when you go to the 600 (as it has PCI cards), or go to the 620 and stay
with the SPD type cards. Luckly for you, just last week IBM came out
with a low end 620 that can use some of your exisiting SPD cards out of
your 300.

   The other issue is what software group you are currently in, and
which one you land in depending upon your model / feature code.
