While I'm sure Steve understands, once again let's be sure everyone
else reading this list doesn't get confused. The CIO systems are *not*
the 9x7 systems, but even older boxes.

The only, but very real, issue with 9x7 systems and MPE/iX 6.5 is that
any HP-IB and HP-FL devices will stop working.  These devices can be
replaced to be able to continue to use a 9x7 box.  The end of support
for 6.0 does not mean the end of 9x7 systems. HP-IB devices are usually
printers and reel-to-reel tape drives on a 9x7. HP-FL are disk drives,
but many 9x7s have SCSI disk drives will continue to work.
