Joe,

   On what controller. All the 9335’s I have met were pure FBA, but its been a long time…

Says who?

 

With ICKDSF, you can initialize a 9335 as an emulated CKD device. Thereafter, it performs as a CKD device...

Ok, good news. I have updated PDOS so that
although it still uses blocks of 18452, those
blocks can be put onto any device type, e.g.
I tested with 3350 disks.

Also I have successfully switched off EA
and the S/370 build now uses 16 MiB.

However, this 9335 DASD is FBA, so
not supported.

Regardless, I'm now in a position to generate
any sort of CKD disk drive and terminal type
for the I/O gen. So let me know what you
would like and I'll generate them. I suggest
we move discussion to the hercules-os380
group because no-one ever accuses me of
being off-topic there.

What I would like to work on next is to
create an EBCDIC ANSI terminal using a
PC so that micro-emacs can run on real
hardware. So I'd like to pick up that
discussion over there.
