Alan, by that definition, none of us have ever applied a microcode patch. Yet I remember distinctly doing so (box after box of 1.44MB floppies!). So either IBM has changed the meaning of the term, which doesn't quite make sense, or I was hallucinating. Plus I'm not sure what the distinction would be between microcode and the actual raw chip instruction set in this case?! ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
