Of course, since there isn't a "3390 Model 27" (just a 2105 with 32K cylinders) it wouldn't make any sense to display such a thing. And you're right - the model number is irrelevant for dasd any more since you can no longer infer actual cylinder count from the model number (just the maximum). > Perhaps we could get the diskmap support people to use this command to > query how many actual cylinders there are and report the ending "gap" if > there is one.
