This driver is a subset of a z/OS V1R9 system. The Customized Offerings Driver is in DFSMSdss dump/restore format and supports 3390 triple-density or higher DASD devices. The Customized Offerings Driver requires a locally attached non-SNA terminal and a system console from the IBM (or equivalent) family of supported terminal types: 317x, 327x, 319x, or 348x. An IBM (or equivalent) supported tape drive is also required to restore the driver. </FM> We needed it so we could install z/OS 1.11 from an unsupported release. I did what mace is wanting to do, run the restores under a test system instead of SA. It worked great.
