Sage advice -- I totally agree. But
individuals are already working on other potential opportunities.
Thanks for your replies.

Patrick,
I'm not sure of all the details, but we recently retired our 2066-002. We
had two GP processors and 1 IFL active, so it's a supported configuration.
IBM or a business partner should be able to help you with the configuration
details.

Can someone, I the know, save me some look-up time and tell me if I can add an
IFL to a IBM 2066-002. My understanding is that this processor type comes with
2 spare CP's.
The question now becomes, is the 2066 still supported with regards to turning
on one of the spares as an IFL?

I believe that the 002 comes with 2 GP CP's and 1 SAP configured and 2 spares but I cannot find any document stating that IBM does not support adding the IFL at this late date for this series of processors.
*Each* z/800 has the same MCM chip. All
z/800 went EO marketing a little earlier this year. No MES or upgrades
are orderable AFAIK.

Thanks Brian and Al. We were considering *playing* with a POC on this machine
but will have to look to a newer one I guess.
