Adding to your question Barry, ....

Our 720 has what we call the "sidecar".  It contains fax adapters and other
comm cards and is orange fiber attached to the 720.  No dasd.

>From what I understand everything in the "sidecar" are SPD bus adapters.
SPD is no longer supported on the iSeries.  PCI is the new bus.

Is the migration tower on the 820 the way to attach SPD bus devices to the
system ?
