The gotcha with the z9 is, that it out of support and you can't have anything modified or built into the machine anymore. Even converting a built-in processor into a zIIP is 'buying new hardware' which is not possible anymore. Anyway not by IBM.

There are available processors on the box to turn in a zIIP. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
