Another key reason that many shops are still running 3380 emulation:
U.S. Government budgets are quite often penny-wise and pound-foolish.
Money won't be spent to upgrade to 3390-type geometry because competent
people that can do that sort of work well simply won't work for the
pittance that government service offers.
Money is not excuse. We talk about 17-years period. The same excuse can (or IMHO cannot) be aplied for lack of backups.
BTW: Budget constarints caused lack of educated staff, so direct reason is still lack of skills.
BTW2: I know company which paid $4500 per month for maintenance of poor DASD,
while it was possible to buy second hand, but newer, more capacity, faster DASD
with 1.5 y maintenance for $9000. Is it still budget issue ?
