I was thinking later, that's a bit of nonsense from me: with a real

it's emulating, can do it if it responds properly to the appropriate

btw I found a PCI card that connects to an ESCON channel: 9663-001.
What I could do with it if I had one in my PC, prpoperly configured and
with the information on programming for it - on both the PC and host
sides - I've not discovered.
Folks, please don't go spending hours and money on my silly idea. I'd
feel terribly guilty if you did all that and then come to find out my
employer didn't buy it. I am far from being the person who authorizes
such things. I had just hoped this was something I could do with
existing hardware and resources. A block mode only system was just
something that really didn't occur to me, mainframes are still quite
foreign to me, despite the training I've had to support Linux on them.
