Ficon or Escon attached? There are a number of vendors who make Escon attached control units which emulate 3390 disks on normal Enterprise "PC" type back end drives. I don't know of any which are Ficon attached.
A product called MFNetDisk implements a 3390 (and 3490) emulation on disk attached to a PC via TCP/IP. The vendor has posted here about it. I've never used it. More info at http://www.mfnetdisk.com/site/index-4.asp?depart_id=43973 It is z/OS only. And it _ supplements_ normal DASD, because you cannot IPL from it. You need TCPIP up before you can get the emulated drives on line. Also, if you are running z/VM and z/Linux only, then you can attach normal SAN DASD as SCSI via an FCP channel (modified Ficon, basically). This does not work for z/OS, z/VSE, or z/TPF, not even if they are run under z/VM.
