Re: QIC tape support & as/436

Actually not true. The 236 booted straight up into SSP. OK OK There was 
a LIC in there but it was hidden and there was no OS/400 available. In 
fact many failed to realize that the very first RISC machine shipped in 
the AS/400 line was the model 236. With the 436 you gained the ability 
to run OS/400 and move SSP to be a guest.
