Well,VM/XA MA, VM/XA SF, VM/XA/SP and VM/ESA all used subchannel numbers and couldn't run in S/370 mode, but supported S/370 mode virtual machines. Somewhere around VM/ESA IBM defined a subset of ESA for optional use by CMS (or was it GCS?), and I believe that S/370 mode is now gone. What I'm looking for is the timeline.
