IBM 3174 C 6.4 Microcode Disks?

[Jim Stefanik]

Kevin,


No problem in the link.


As for my system, I've got a z800 (a 2066-0A1 to be exact). It's got ESCON, so I've got an Optica converter box of which the model number escapes me; but it's the replacement/alternative to the IBM Pacer boxes. That allows bus and tag gear to connect up to ESCON channels.


As for converting R to L, I'll play around with stuff. Worst case, I'll just buy an 11L and use the 11R for spares or for messing around.

Thanks!!  I'll check with them.

Now I'm curious, as others on the list might also be.  What machine do you 
have with bus and tag channels to connect an 11L to? 

Unfortunately I know nothing about converting an 11R to an 11L, or if it's 
even possible.
