Where is the Twilight Zone music when you need it? The first URL describes hardware features needed for OS/390 2.10 and says they will be available in Sept 2000. We bought our 2003-106 no later than summer of 98 and it has been running 2.10 for several years now. Did IBM really beat the target data by more than 2 years?
