What is the Dallas RDP offering? I've never heard of that.
As some of you may remember, I worked with an MP3000 processor at P&H Mining
before they got off of z/OS. It was a very nice machine. The biggest
problem we had though with the machine was it only had a single processor.
We came from an MP2003 with 3 processors. We had some processes that
basically caused CICS to take over about 90% of the processor. We finally
fixed that by limiting the CPU% to 40% by the workload manager. This
process ran once a month, but if it didn't finish by 7:00 AM, everything
else ran forever.

The MP3K CPU wasn't emulated, though some of the I/O was.

Not sold in all markets - in fact, at present it may only be available in
(North) America.
And as you say, it's bloody expensive.
As a sysprog I get frustrated using Dallas - much more suitable for
application developers. A zPDT
probably be would be better.
The MP3K was emulated, but it had a HMC to play on. Very handy at times.
