The good news is that the mirrored disc problem seems to have been fixed in
7.0.  I have run it on several systems and have not experienced a problem
yet.  I wonder if there is a patch to 6.5.

I'm not 100% sure, but I would guess that the "unsafe" part of SYSINFO
might be only the IOMAP menu item, which could "confuse" mirrored disc
while scanning the IO adapters and devices.

The IO command probably just traverses the config files/tables and
displays the results in a nicely formatted/selected fashion. However,
as I said, I am just *guessing* here, so your milage may vary!
