Indeed it is a technical limitation. The DVD-RAM loads from the DVD drive in the HMC and the z10 interface to the DVD is much, much faster than the interface in the older hardware. My understanding is that the DVD should load in some number of minutes on a z10 as opposed to some number of hours on an older machine. It would not be in anyone's best interests if we billed this as being supported on anything other than a z10. David -- David J.
