Geert, I ordered the 4.2.1 system with internet delivery in July. I uploaded them to a VSAM VTAPE file and copied them to 3490E cartridges with DITTO. Did a fresh install from that tape. No problems. I did open an ETR with IBM to confirm the size of the VSAM file. I went with 5000 and secondary 1000, ended up with 7,284 records in the BASE VTAPE file. The XBASE was 3,978 records (still sitting in my VTAPE user catalog).
