Water is wet. That wasn't what I asked. Has TSO/E supported 14-bit
(and 16-bit) addressing In the LOGON screen for eons? You know the
answer.

FSVO. I had problems with it, although that admittedly was the fault
of badly designed[1] 3rd party hardware. But the VM logon banner did
*not* support 14-bit addressing initially; in fact, there was no
14-bit addressing to support when it first came out.
[1] Some 3rd party 3272/3277 equivalents did were not fully
compatible with real 3277's. Take the GTE IS/7800 - please!
