Hello, all:

And, is anyone surprised by this? This is brand-new, "bleeding-edge" technology, for which you must be prepared to pay a premium price, for now...
Within 18 to 24 months, this technology (and the software to support it) will be widely available at "market prices" and eventually, commodity prices.

The fact that i5/OS can take advantage of this "right away" with only a few PTFs needed, is a very positive event in the life of OS/400 and i5/OS, and is something that should be celebrated.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes other operating systems to be capable of do anything really useful with this new technology.

Regards,

Mark S. Waterbury

Hi Robert, you only have 1 of 15 PTF's for this support, and not all of the PTF's have been written yet. Many of the PTF's are not even visible
in Fix Central yet. If you get a SSD drive, then I can get you the PTF's currently out, and you will see a diffference in the CHGPF command. Without having a SSD drive, we are not giving the PTF's out at this time.
