No; the 3390 is an FBA disk simulating CKD. I'm not aware of any IBM
disk later than the 3350 that wasn't FBA under the covers. I'm not
aware of any 3350 manufactured in the last two decades.
>but the disk devices themselves were always CKD
Not with the advent of the 3375; they were all FBA. The computations
for track capacity should have tipped you off to that.
