Shame there was so little additional take-up of the product.

Let me tell you that no Yahoo, Google or Facebook nor any other big
companies will invest one Dollar or more in new product which will run in
MF Z/OS. So, the same for MFNetDisk.
It is waste of time to develop medicine to already ( or almost ) dead Z/OS.

But from what I see, they do not have a reseller in Israel.
I also doubt that our DR site, which is run by IBM, will let us use this.
Our main use for tapes, is to transfer data to the DR site.
I'd suggest 4 3590's connected to A60.

Oh, yes, but there are no FICON-attached versions. So, no z/OS system
can use them (directly).
Indirect use via some magic box like BusTech, Luminex or Interkom is
another
