Before You Begin 2
Before you begin the upgrade to Release 6.0, you will need the items listed below.
■ SPM Version 6.15 or later to back up and convert system programming
information and to restore system programming information after the
processor module has been upgraded.
■ One or both of the following:
— Processor module with a PCMCIA memory card slot (when
converting from Release 2.1 or earlier).
— A forced installation PCMCIA memory card with Release 6.0 system
software (when converting from any release).
■ DOS-formatted diskette
NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:
If SPM is already installed, the
screen that appears when
you start SPM identifies the version on both the last line of the console

working with Version 6.15,

screen and

Inter-Release Compatibility 2
It is important to understand compatibility between files created on each of the
different versions of SPM, not only for upgrading but also for programming.
Table 2–6
summarizes programming compatibility. (It is assumed that the majority
of the programming is done in surrogate mode and backed up on disk).
