Re: OS/400 i5/OS

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just my thoughts, but the "i5" refers to the hardware, like "AS/400" 
(which most of us still use, though) and "iSeries."


Technically, V5R3 will run on "iSeries" machines (like our model 720).  
In which case wouldn't it be referred to as "OS/400"?  While on our 
model 520, it is "i5/OS" for sure.


But, like Don says, the terms are interchangeable.  We still call it an 
"AS/400" though IBM hasn't done so in years.  A rose by any other name...
