RE: Adding dasd & memory in consideration of

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your memory will have to be replaced when you go RISC.  There used to be
a 100% trade-in available for memory (IBM Memory only of course) when
you upgraded to RISC, but believe that's either been dropped or changed
to a 50% exchange..

If you install any of the following disks they can migrate to the RISC
system with use of a conversion kit:
6652                    1031MB
6650                    1967MB
6605                    1031MB
6606/6806/6906          1967MB
6607/6807/6907          4194MB
6713                    8589MB

Of course if you have External DASD you can continue to use.
