I have been successfully using Entity Framework 4.1 with my Sql Server for quite a while now.

The company is integrating with corportate now, which uses DB2 iSeries 5.4. I need to figure out how to integrate Entity Framework.

From what I can tell, I need to download the DB Data Server Provider 9.7, then apply the latest patch in order for it to work with VS2010 and EF4.

The trouble is, I can't find anywhere to download 9.7! I can find the 9.5 download area just fine, but nothing for 9.7. I have been searching for 6 hours now.

Can anyone provide me with a link that I can use to download what I need to get this working??

You should be able to get them from the Data Server Client Packages by version page.
