This can get confusing, so here is a list of the latest available OS releases for the various platforms: 1632 & XP 3.02.02 32/200 1.01.00 32/4x0-6x0 3.00.01 32/700 1.00.00 32/8x0 2.00.00 In some cases, the current release is a different flavor of UNIX than a previous release (V.3.2 vs. V.3.1), so check with your supplier to be certain you are getting what you want. For example, Art mentions TOWER 32/4x0-6x0 OS release 2.01.00 (which should really be 2.01.01, and is a V.3.1 product), but release 3.00.01 is a V.3.2 product. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Sam Vause, NCR Corporation, Customer Services - TOWER Support | |3325 Platt Springs Road, West Columbia, SC 29169 (803) 791-6953 | | vause@cs-col.Columbia.NCR.COM |
