Re: Geared Down, Low Cost Power IBM i Box Rumored - How Low Can You Go?

Yes, In this particular case it might be possible. in fact they are having
a crash course on release hopping right now since we gave them an 810 with
v5r2 to try and restore (they didn't have op21 backups, but all software is
homegrown and the programmer insisted he could compile everything from
scratch if needed). But yes, there are lots of details when doing a
migration from so long ago and unfortunately not being a software guy (not
even sys-admin guy, just vios, hardware, base OS install) I can't help much
with them but I read most of the threads here on migration woes and have an
inkling of the stuff to look for.

Interesting list. I guess I was only thinking from the POV of the code
moving to a newer OS.

...
- dropping of Token Ring support
- can a newer machine even run 10MB ethernet anymore?
- dropped commands.
- no more twinax
...

And is it truly all homegrown code? If not, is the vendor still in
business?
