Re: p5's

I should have been more clear.  Unlike 3rd party DASD for the i5
(AS400,iSeries) which requires an emulation of a specific IBM drive, you
can pretty much use any SCSI disk or tape with a p5.  It's not
restricted by IBM.

Whether you buy cheap or quality storage is a decision you make on it's
own merits.  I would agree that 3rd party peripherals on a i5 aren't
worth the risk of a future OS release incompatibility.
