Please don't assume from your experience with ISPF that it applies to all Share
projects and requirements (or even to the current situation with ISPF). The
Share MVSE project has been quite successful in obtaining IBM assistance in
evaluating and working on requirements. The current
SHARE Requirement SSSHARE011158 (A Dynamic Steplib Facility is Needed for batch
and TSO) was submitted in August 1985. During our recent cleanup of the MVSE
requirements (Oct 2010), the requirements committee marked it as Available, so
it is no longer active.
The reason: IBM developed TSOLIB
The additional processors on the M10 are for specialty processors. The maximum
number of CPs is five, depending on the model you order.
The specialty engines run at full speed.
One of the main advantages of the z114 is the ability to add a zBX BladeServer.

Bill,
What do you mean when running zOS 1.6 shows at 147 MSUs? The MSU ratings
provided by IBM are for marketing and pricing reasons only, and don't change
once published. The MSU rating for a 2094-406 are 147 MSUs on the 1.6 LSPRs
and are also 147 MSUs on the 1.8 LSPRs.
Best regards,
