When upgrading from an HP 3000 computer using the MPE V operating system to an HP 3000 computer using the MPE/iX operating system, a variety of migration issues must be addressed. Differences between early and later versions of MPE/iX must also be considered.

This Appendix discusses migration from the ATP or ADCC subsystem on an MPE V computer to the Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem (DTS) on an MPE/iX computer. The discussion includes comparisons of the following:

  • Physical appearance.

  • Configuration.

  • PAD support.

  • Terminal types and printer types.

  • Software characteristics.
