RE: Interesting idea

I think biggest issue would be DASD support. I expect it will have 3380 (or
possibly 3390) drives. 

 

I think the other issue is 2k/4k storage keys but the 4/5/6 packs have this
fix. Not the original Bob Abeles though.

Subject: [H390-VM] Interesting idea

 

  

Hello!
Here's an interesting one, over on the Z/VM list David Boyes just
confirmed that a system running HP05 was finally shutdown. I didn't
ask why, it might be obvious, but he did describe what system it was,
it happened to be a 3090 family machine.

Now would anyone know what system IDs were the sort that could, or
even could not, be the sort of machine who could or could not, be a
candidate for a "vanilla" VM/370rel6 setup. Now remember we have the
original configuration who described what machine the creator of the
original series had in mind.
To be honest, I can't recall what VM/370rel6 was targeted towards,
and for all I know it might have been run on early 3090s as their
owners were working towards migrating towards, the ESA and HP05 family
of operating systems.
