Vern--
I agree that the battery is only to protect the cache memory.
My question is: won't OS/400 (i) write the cache back to disk during idle
moments, so that, on a mostly idle system, won't user data more likely than
not still be protected? I remember someone mumbling something about the
data in cache being flagged as 'clean' or 'dirty,' clean being written back,
and dirty not written back...
