Just a quick note on the offline diagnostics.
 
Moral: Save a copy of a pre-5.0 SLT tape.
 
We just added some memory to a friend's 922, and wanted to see if it
was recognized.  Should have been no problem...just get to ISL prompt
and run IOMAP?
 
Well, IOMAP says: I'm obsolete, use ODE and its MAPPER command instead
and then terminated.
 
Ok...ODE (Offline Diagnostic Environment (I think))...I'll try it.
 
Unfortunately, the MAPPER command hung while looking at a CIO channell,
and wouldn't get past that point .. so we couldn't verify that the
memory existed (or worked).
 
So, I thought: maybe the offline memory diagnostic?  Well, I don't even
know if it *would* have worked if I had the password ... but I didn't,
so A1002AM wouldn't let me look run it.  (I remembered that A1100AM is
the offline mem test for 950/955/960, and thought that A1002AM might
have been for 920/922/932 ... but I knew that if it was for a different
CPU model it would at least tell me so (past experience)).
 
We solved the problem by booting up MPE, and running my PAGES utility
which reported that the memory was there.  (You could look at
system_globals.real_memory_size if desired.)
 
So, if you want to run the offline IOMAP ... you'll need a copy of an
older SLT tape.
 
Moral: Save a copy of a pre-5.0 Push (?) SLT tape.  How old? I don't know.
 
With that, you can probably do a boot-from-tape and run the old IOMAP
from there.
