Re: Going from V5R2 to V3R7

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

But getting back to GA's question, do customers running ancient machines 
like V3R7 and/or V3R2 actually pay anyone for their services on said 
machines?

If the answer is no, then why bother supporting customers running these 
versions?

We have a 40S still in production that is running V3R6 (although I think 
it
is about to die..we have been getting messages about an impending disk
failure).  We took it off IBM maintenance in 1998.  The only problems 
since
then were replacing 1 disk drive on two separate occasions, total cost
around $800.00.

Its backup for DR is a portable (P01 model 2) that is running V3R2.
