>My 2 cents worth: the "cheap DASD" doesn't live up to the reliability >standards that IBM demands for z/OS.
I was discussing this with a Storage Manager at a large Canadian Bank. His biggest complaint was that the same DASD cost more if he used it under z/OS than the case under LINUX/AIX/UNIX/etc. What is the difference? It's the same hardware. Is there different microcode? Different features? Other? - I'm a SuperHero with neither powers, nor motivation!
