Just to clear up the confusion for those that might not have read their
5.5 Communicator (hope nobody considers this a too big Plug):

Product Structure Change

The product structure of the STORE and TurboSTORE/iX products has changed
for MPE/iX Release 5.5.  Some of the features have been placed or kept in
the STORE/iX program in the MPE/iX Fundamental Operating System (FOS),
and the rest have been consolidated into the following two products:

   *   TurboSTORE/iX II (new version)
   *   TurboSTORE/iX 7x24 True-Online Backup (new product)

The following table shows how the previous TurboSTORE/iX product
structure for MPE/iX Release 5.0 has been incorporated into the current
product structure for MPE/iX Release 5.5.
