Re: V5R1 vs V4R5

[Neil Palmer <NeilP@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On older models and OS/400 releases you could share the NIC the INS used
for Native 400 functions, BUT lost native 400 connectivity if the INS
crashed (not that something running Windows would ever do that).Now you
need to dedicate a card for native use, and one (or two) to the INS.  The
NIC cards are physically identical.

Hi Neil,

That price was for V4R5.

On the NIC question, your response makes it sound as if the NIC's are the
same. Is my memory faulty or was there at one time a difference in the NIC
used by OS400 and the NIC used by the INS?
