RE: Clarification on DISK CONFIGURATION

Dare,

Yeah, I agree it sounds dangerous and I would advise an upgrade.  That
said, the 1.967 GB drive is commonly referred to as a 2 GB drive.  The
V5R1 OS/400 Capacity Planning web site confirms that this capacity is
adequate for a load source.

Is anyone on the list running V5R1 on a model 500 with a 2 GB load
source?

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
