<SNIPPAGE> The z/OS JES spool. But it might be interesting to have similar for VM:Spool, normal VM SPOOL, z/VSE, and others. But that's getting futher afield. Like being able to read z/OS legacy (PS and PDS) datasets directly. Again, to avoid any CPU use in z/OS itself. But security is still an issue on all of these accesses. <SNIPPAGE> This is similar to using a Linux Live CD to diagnose and fix a Windows system (even if it is running NTFS). The Linux system could be used for D/R purposes to diagnose or fix the non-running system. Yes this raises security issues. But you have physical access in this case. If these things are only given to the root or a special user w/in the *nix environment, you have addressed much of the security issues. If you are running under VM, and VM is giving you access to the physical addresses, then the security is controlled by VM.
