Don't forget that 3390-27 and -54 are fictional names, not official ones. Although IBM occasionally uses them, they are not actual designations. The large disks are identified internally as 3390-9 disks with an appropriate number of cylinders. However, many users and ISVs, including Innovation, use the designations for convenience. BTW, the numbers are the approproximate number of GB on the disk when it is defined as the maximum number of cylinders. -- snip -- I found the references in various CA Brightstore PTFs. Like Ed, we also don't (no longer anyway) use the maximum number of cylinders. The architecture dictates the optimal definition. It isn't necessarily the maximum.
