Blake,

you didn't follow Kevin's precious suggestion; you wrote:
'0010    3270    MOD4' in your config file, and not
'0010    3270' as posted by the great Kevin.

When you try to connect your 3270 emulator to Hercules, if you don't specify MOD4 as LU name your connection is rejected (by Hercules).

That has nothing to do with DMKRIO that has 0010 defined as 3277 model 2.
 
You can even define your 3270 emulator screen size as model 4 and connect to Hercules 0010; you VM/370 IPL will work anyhow.
