Any one with 3390 mod54 . Any problems experiences good or bad
No experience yet, but there is the warning that your software should be
checked to support them. They have fullword number of cylinders and that number
could be interpreted as a signed negative number.
Not a fullword (i.e., four bytes). The cylinder value is an _unsigned_
halfword (i.e., two bytes where all 16 bits are used to describe a zero
or positive value -- no sign bit). Programs that process these values
using instructions such as LH, AH, SH -- intended to process signed
halfwords (i.e., two bytes where the leftmost bit is the sign bit) --
could have problems.
