I only need DASD to DASD. I only need to transport a single
load module.

And I (basically) have control over the linker (pdld) that will
directly produce IEBCOPY (basically) format (artificially
produce an unloaded load module).

Load modules only exist in DASD, so that's not a problem.

It will look like it has been unloaded from a DASD - but the
type of DASD is up for grabs.

Note that this already exists, but we're trying to clarify what
the device characteristics should ideally be for general
purpose use. I was thinking 1 record per track, 1 head and
up to 65536 cylinders giving a maximum load module size
of 384 MiB (with 6144-byte blocks), which is plenty.

But the IEBCOPY manual has a different artificial device.
But they have a different objective than transporting a
single load module.
