Re: z114 and z/OS 2.3

That is very odd. The same VM guest starts up fine on an EC12 and newer, but anything older than that fails.  z/VM and z/OS are both at the latest release level with all current maintenance. Now I'm curious what the secret sauce is to make that work. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage

Re: z114 and z/OS 2.3

This is incorrect. I just tried it again to make sure - even under z/VM, on a z196, z/OS 2.3 instantly drops the CP into a disabled wait with PSW 0002 8000 0020007B. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage Computing Center From: Brian Westerman Sent

Re: z114 and z/OS 2.3

The documentation is correct. Anything older than EC12 (or BC12) will drop to a wait state. I've tried it on a z196 and almost instantly get a wait. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage Computing Center From: Christian Svensson <022ad63487ef-dmarc-r

Re: Visara CNA8000 question

I would ask the same question - what's the end-goal? If you're just trying to test something or revive some old gear for a while, an IBM 8229 LAN Bridge can be had for bugger all off eBay. It just bridges traffic between an Ethernet LAN and a token ring LAN. If this is a more permanent

Re: Running unsupported is dangerous was Re: AW: Re: LE strikes again

I'll throw in a bit of "extra" behind this: Anyone who works in security almost certainly has heard of Metasploit. If not, Google it - it's pretty much a framework that puts known attacks into an easy-to-use platform for pentesting (or illicit activities if one decided to use it for such

Re: ES/9000 microcode

Will, If you can find one (they're on eBay, but the cables are rare); a company called Inline makes these really sweet converter boxes which accept input from nearly anything (IBM terminals, VAX's, MDA, CGA, etc - you name it, it's probably able to accept it) and it converts that to standard

Re: ES/9000 microcode

In that case, it's even better than you're a long-time member! I'm quite surprised that it was still in-use 2 years ago; although I was just as surprised when I found out my system was taken offline a week before I bought it; so I guess people still do run on old hardware. As for DASD, you're
