A point of clarification. A lot of this revolves around the day to day meaning of 'engineer'. I have never encountered a shop that sends out systems MTS folks to to open up a hardware box with screwdriver and soldering iron in order to upgrade or downgrade or repair a Z box. That practice is SOP in the wienieware world, not in the Z world.
So I repeat: what does a Z systems engineer do that a Z sysprog does not do? On Fri, Oct 15, 2021 at 2:01 PM CM Poncelet <ponce...@bcs.org.uk> wrote: > Hi Bruce, > > I am in the UK.
