And why was it expected to be 63 bit ? Was there an expectation that one bit will be used to distinguish a 63 bit address from 31 / 24 bit addresses ?
During the early discussions, many people expected ESAME to implement 63-bit addressing for reasons similar to why XA/370, ESA/370, and ESA/390 implemented 31-bit and not 32-bit addressing.
