Been nearly three days and your tips work like a charm. My dumpings are nearly non-existent (had a hardware conflict with a pcmcia card but solved). Very helpful.

Thank you!

IBM in my opinion did a sterling job to keep the T2x series as useful as possible for as long as possible. Hear, hear. It's been more than 6 years since the T2x was introduced, and as recently as last month we've had a BIOS upgrade...not to mention several other software updates after that. IBM/Len...
