Re: Swapping Cards on Model 740

[Wayne McAlpine <wmcalpine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Philipp.  The current IPL device is a 3490E and it's attached to 
a 6501 card in the IPL slot on bus 0.  I need to replace the 6501 with a 
new 6534 card and move the 6501 to a vacant slot on another bus.  We're 
retaining the 3490E in order to be able to read our existing tapes.
