RE: I will stop calling it an AS/400 when . . . [ thiscondition is met ]

LOL -

First you would have to get V6R1 onto 1/4" cartridge tapes - and a whole
bunch of them at that.

P.S. I've got a B10 in my office acting as a coffee table if anyone
wants to try it. :)

Just try to load V6R1 on to a B10 and see what happens.
You'd have the same luck trying to load XP Pro on to an IBM AT.

not sure i agree with the 1988 AS400 could not run IBM i, IBM
i is just
the latest version of OS 400, and the system has always
supported OS 400.

I couldn't run windows XP on a PC that supported windows 3.1, But it
doesn't make it a different machine because there were upgrade to
technology in between.

[When will I stop calling myself jde.iseries? ]
I am fully aware that a significant percentage of IBM

insiders and IBM i

users still call it the AS400

The 1988 AS400 could not run IBM i, AIX, Linux, nor Windows

on IXS or
IXA.
