RE: 250 failure

Thanks for that information Pat. And no, what manual ?

And do you think getting a new/used tape drive would do the trick or, as
Justin mentioned, something else at work here ?

Thanks !

Chuck

I don't believe the 250 came with ANY tapes or cdroms
other than test media. The 250 was a "special" machine
in that it was only marketed by BP's as a shrink wrap
solution. It came preloaded and you pretty much got what
you are seeing. It was the users little red wagon to create
tapes.

That box started with V4R5, so any set of CDROMS with that
OS should be able to IPL up on D. You could reload from any
set of V4R5 and get IBM to give you passwords.

Did you download the manual with all the hardware paths ???
