RE: 4224 works on V4R4 and malfunctions on V5R1

Jerry, Do you cable direct from the brick on the back of the as400 to the
printer using twinax cable, no baluns, patch panel wiring?  Whenever I have
trouble with twinax devices I always try to factor out any faulty wiring.
If not, can you cable direct from the brick to the printer with twinax
cable?

Yeah, it seems that if the controllers are the same type the results should
be the same.  I'm wondering if it's the speed of the controller or if the
port on the brick isn't bad.
