Re: S36 to AS400 migration

It has been a while, but I believe 2560 is correct for bytes/block on S/36 storage...

2560 was my guess but I needed to know for sure.

Thx,

Jerry,

I need to determine DASD requirements.  Their S36 has a capacity of

1,200,000 blocks.  How many bytes is this?



Blocks under SSP were ten sectors, each 256 bytes, so a block was 2560
bytes.
So that is basically 3GB of capacity.
Stuff takes more room on the i5, but it shouldn't be too hard to have over 
3GB available on a new machine....
