GOAL:
When upgrading from AS/400 CISC to RISC Processor, can I use the same CISC media for RISC OS?
GOAL:
How to determine between CISC and RISC media for Progress/400?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress/400 DataServer
Progress/400 Product
FIX:
Progress/400 Product is available on two different AS/400 Operating Systems, RISC and CISC. After upgrading the AS/400 Operating System from CISC processor to a RISC processor, you will need to order new media for RISC.
IBM AS/400 CISC only supports OS level V3R1 and V3R2
IBM AS/400 RISC only supports OS level V3R6 and higher
Depending on your version of Progress/400, the media for CISC and RISC will differ.
If you have tapes for the CISC product and RISC product they are not compatible although they look the same. Below is the Media ID codes, to help distinguish between the two
CISC tapes:
1/4 9track 8MM 3490
042 045 101 131
RISC tapes:
1/4 9track 8MM 3490
151 15 153 15
You may also have RISC on CD-ROM
