"MVS/SP 3.2.2" didn't have HCD support so you will need to come up with some other way of getting your I/O and your I/O gen to match. You won't have any FICON support and you won't have ESS support... but presumably you have some crusty, rusty disks you can attach (via parallel channels maybe)? No parallel on z890. z900 was the last. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
