Ed, Customer feedback for elapsed time follows: Actually the elapsed time was substantially shorter for the VIO tests: - the VIO tests both executed in .02 min - the physical IO tests executed in .05 and .07 min Still I rather doubt that they will pay for the quicker turn around.

Some processing that would normally be "offloaded" to the DASD controller is now being done by software running on general CPs, the storage occupied by the emulated file will need to be paged in/out, etc. Do you get better elapsed times? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
