What do you mean by that, Mark?

AFAIK, when someone refers to storage as "64-bit", they are speaking of the
addressing mode required to address it.  Similarly, "24-bit" storage or
"31-bit" storage refers to the minimum addressing mode required to address it.

You wouldn't refer to PSA as 10-bit storage, would you?

You can't run z/OS on a 360-67. <g,d,r>
