Re: Z/VM support for FBA devices was Re: z/OS support of HMC's 3270 emulation?

Well no-one has answered, so I had better! The 3345 was really a 3350 that was re-partitioned so that each 3350 spindle looked like four 3340-70MB spindles/disks. It was a cheaper way of getting (maybe?slower) 3340s if you could not handle the 3350 architecture yet. ( you got a faster

Re: Power Capacity Planning (was Slightly off topic power limits)

Getting back to the comment about the proliferation of ( usually wintel) single application servers. In my experience, this occurred because different business units liked having and controlling their own server(s), and individually each little server was not very power hungry anyway. Not like

Re: Looking for sample TRANSMIT output files

I am going to tell Captain Kirk you said that!! I always thought 3348s ( the 3340s disk module) looked a lot like the Starship Enterprise. Also, when I was an operator, more than once did I get my fingers jammed between two 2311 drives that walked too close to each other. Each 2311 drive was a
