RE: CD-ROM Discs -- MIDRANGE-L

All fine and good, Larry, and far be it for me to doubt the good Doctor.
The thing is I usually "print" the special instruction cover letters.
Occasionally there are things I need to do before installing a particular
PTF. I, also, have a habit of looking at the Defective PTFs page, but PSP
only goes back to V5R3.

Call me defective or paranoid (I've been called worse, and I'm probably
both).

Well since you can see the files on the 250 then the burn and the media
are correct so stop worrying about that.

My next step would simply to be go PTF and crank up option 8 and see
what it installs.

I got the 4300 CUME from a friend (Thanks, you know who you are), but that
was awhile back. I'm just now finding some time to actually look at
installing it. I thought I had looked at the cume level when I first
started here (last January), and I don't recall TL04300 being there - but
I'm an old fart that has memory issues. I don't see or know any way to
determine when the TL04300 cover letter got added. That is, whether it

got

added when I did the CPYPTFCVR this morning or not.

Thanks.

I have no idea if this is relevant.......

What is the CUME? Is it an .iso file? If so, did you burn it as as

image?

Only reason I ask a potentially dum question is I have run into this with

friend who burned an .iso as a file. Won't work.

I would think that CD-R and CD-RW would be interchangeable.

I have the last CUME for V5R1 (please, hold down the laughter, some of us
are trying to sleep) on my PC. Our optical drive is a type 6321 on a

Model

250. I used CD-R media to copy the disc images to CD. Either I did the
dupe disc wrong (always a possibility) or CD-R is not a compatible media
type. Anyway, the CPYPTFCVR command comes back saying that "No PTFs on
device OPT01 met the selection criteria." Even when I use SELECT(*ALL).

Now

that isn't reasonable so there is a problem.

If it is the media type, what is the correct media type, and where would

get it? Staples, Office Depot, and Office Max only carry CD-RW and CD-R.
If I fubared it, I'll try again.

Thanks.
