3092 (3090 service processor) was a pair of 4361s running a special custom vm370 release 6 off of 3370 FBA drives. All that stuff chould have come on 3370 FBA disks as part of the service processor. aka at bottom mentions 3092 requires two 3370 FBA devices (one for each 4361 running vm370): http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_PP3090.html above also mentions that 3092 (aka vm370 4361s) requires access to 3420 tape drive. misc. past posts mentioning 3092: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009b.html#22 Evil weather http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009e.html#50 Mainframe Hall of Fame: 17 New Members Added http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010e.html#32 Need tool to zap core http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010e.html#34 Need tool to zap core http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010e.html#38 Need tool to zap core http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011c.html#71 IBM and the Computer Revolution http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011e.html#62 3090 ... announce 12Feb85 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011f.html#31 TCP/IP Available on MVS When? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011f.html#32 At least two decades back, some gurus predicted that mainframes would disappear http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011f.html#42 At least two decades back, some gurus predicted that mainframes would disappear in future and it still has not happened http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011h.html#68 IBM Mainframe (1980's) on You tube -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
