Re: Model 200 Help

Matt,

  Hopefully the hints to get you to Manual mode and re-IPL have cleared 
your problem.

  The 9xxx-xxxx numbers refer to hardware failures. "Mostly I/O 
Related" is about as much detail as I can scrounge up. So that could be 
disks, disk controllers, or even power issues.  Given it stopped dead 
once even if you get it going again the problem is very likely to recur, 
so IF you get the thing up I would make sure my backups were current!

  I would also use this opportunity to encourage management to consider 
a system built in this century! Preferably with the 'System i' name on 
the front!
