2314, 2419, 2311, these are just a few of the "IBM" DASD that I've had the pleasure of working with. I've forgotten the drum device numbers and the noodle snatcher model number.

Steve Thompson

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.

  In a previous life, we defined VIO (I believe) to device 3314 even
though we had none left on the floor

That's a device type I've never heard of, and the Google knows not of. Could this be a 
typo for "2314"?

I believe the OP meant 2314 which had 7294 bytes per track.  It was a removable 
disk.
