Rob, Yes, you can get any of the speciality engines, zIIP, zAAP or IFL on spec for 90 days. Best of all it's an MES item, so you don't have to do anything to the hardware.

If that's appealing to you, check with your IBM rep for the terms. -Rob On Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:27:29 -0500, Steven Liston <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi, we're looking at doing POCs for running production workloads on specialist >engines.
