Wow! I did not realize that this was still part of the system console command 
documentation. Thanks!

Thanks to all that replied.

Subject: Antiquarian Curiosity: Pre-MVS/XA Mount Command for DASD Volumes

Before MVS/XA and RAID DASD, offline DASD volumes (e.g. 3330, 3350 & 3380 
units) had to be mounted instead of simply being varied online. The mount 
command used the volser of the offline DASD volume as a parameter.

Does anyone remember the format of the mount command?

Does anyone have the documentation in .pdf format?
