OK, the sleeping dog wants some attention. Before my first reply, I carefully Googled device type 2314 to verify the number. Then I typed '3314' because who has ever worked with DASD that started with something other than '33'? 2314 remained valid in the IODEVICE macro long, long after the final one disappeared into the sunset. And as I said, I was advised to use it for VIO because of 'device architecture', whatever that meant. Track size, I guess, from what others have posted.
