It should be kept in mind that while 31-bit addressing was a 32X capacity
jump over 24-bit, 64-bit addressing has 8 billion times the addressing
space of 31-bit.
I'm not sure if z/OS actually supports activating the Region 1st DAT table
anyway. z/OS may be only a 53-bit OS. So far...

I never saw it, but after XA the only upgrades to the address size that made
any sense were 63 and 64 bit. Maybe he was thinking of the S/38 or AS/400, but
that was a totally different architecture.

Under MVS/ESA we had expanded storage. Expanded storage allowed each page to be
addressed using a 32 bit address. As each page held 4096 (2**12) bytes the
effective addressing was 32bits + 12bits = 48bits.
Is this what you were thinking of?

No, this was arguing that IBM was going to actual 48 bit addressing instead of
jumping from 24 to 32/31 to 64, their argument was that the next logical step
was to add 16 bits to the addresses.
Now I gotta try to find the article. :-)
