Newer technology makes things entertaining. For a little while I had my P/390-E in a machine that was running the OS/2 as a VM with PCI pass-through. It functioned, but it wasn't stable. I've since moved my P/390-E to a different dedicated system. -- Grant. . . . unix || die -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

[1] https://ahuemer.xx.vu/non-volatile/p390-questions.html Hardware 1) It's my understanding that there are some companion cards that go with the processor card. - Bus & Tag - ESCON I think you're also missing any information on the older ISA card sets. E.g. the ISA System 370 CPU+RAM card that goes in the PC/370 and the likes. Do the R/390 et al. cards have different FRUs? Or is it the same hardware with different software; OS/2 vs AIX? 2) I would guess where and / or when 08J5941 and 08J5882 were made. 3) I have no idea. Debugging indicator for the card? Maybe this speaks to question 2. I wonder if there is any relation to the LEDs with any bits of the Program Status Word. OS/2 Software I've used my P/390-E with OS/2 4.x and ArcaOS. AIX Software I have no idea of #1 nor #2. I wonder if part of the difference with OS/2 console vs AIX console is related to the fact that dtterm / aixterm / xterm are inherently text (especially with the version that I think they are). As such, some of the more special characters that are used in the status line to indicate connected, waiting, offline, etc. probably don't display as cleanly in pure text. Remember that the console in OS/2 was it's own GUI that did it's own terminal emulation and could thus support special characters. You can see similar with the difference between X3270 and it's console counterpart C3270 from the same source code. LIC I have no idea about versions of the LIC. -- Grant. . . . unix || die -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Unanswered questions regarding P390 systems
My card runs in a RS/6000. Not one the card was intended for in a R/390 setup, but it works anyways. -Alex On Sun, Sep 10, 2023 at 04:40:03PM -0400, Tony Thigpen wrote: > I have run a P390 using OS/2 Warp 4 4.0.

Re: Unanswered questions regarding P390 systems
I have run a P390 using OS/2 Warp 4 4.0. (google it for download.) The box you put the P390 card into is important. It's been a long time since you could get a box with long enough slots.
