3390 model 1, 3 and 9 were real devices that were the same except for the number of cylinders. After RAID came along everyone stopped making real devices. Model 27 and 54 never existed. They were emulated model 9's with more cylinders.

How many cylinders in a mod 9?
Is there such thing as a mod 27 (32,760 cyl) and mod 54 (65520)?  Or are
these just mod 9s of a different size? My storage folks don't believe me
(I'm reading $DASD$ CONSTS S) that they are all just variable sized mod
9.
