Re: Which AS/400 models are not supported at V4R5 & V5R1?

Excuse me for being late to the conversation here, but this thread
made me wonder...

What is the point of being on software subscription if you have one of
these machines that won't go to V5R2?  If you bought a 3 year software
subscription for your model 400 or your model 40S, you're screwed no?
