drivers and hacks and whatever.
I don't want to bother you, but this problem is just fixed. There are
PTFs for that.
The same problem exist when you want to install/run z/OS 1.4 on z/990
machine. You need Exploitation Support (FMID + PTFs) for that.
IMHO z/OS is not completely dead
BTW: Similar problem existed with Win 3.1 (no support for drives over
512MB in '32-bit mode'), it was BEFORE Win95 came to market.
Similar problems existed with Novell NetWare, good system, well
supported. There was a need to download new disk drives.
IMHO bad diagnoze, despite of OS/2 death.
