I guess if you're hosting MVS under VM, then being able to read the guest dasd format is a good thing ;) Have you setup MVS to run in a virtual machine? If so, how do you define the console for MVS? It has to be connected before IPL, but before MVS is IPL'd, what does a 3270 connect to ? .. kind of a "chicken and the egg' / catch 22 ?
