It again looks like small customers are becoming less and less interesting for IBM. We have not-so-big z196's now, we could do with a z12BC's and probably the smallest z13 will be vastly oversized for us.

If there are z13 models not listed in the earlier LSPR link, then why aren't they there? Or did I miss them? Again, the lowest z13 MSU I saw was about double what I need and on a bloody uniprocessor. I am z/OS and will be until its turned off. My most critical z/OS software comes from a vendor totally un-amenable to sub-capacity charging. And, yes, I do know that there are a couple z12 models that fit. I am only currently whining about the z13 :) > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of Timothy Sipples > Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 10:02 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: z13 unanswered question. > > Dave Gibney writes: > >This could then be a problem for me. > > Phil Smith wrote: > >IBM said there will be no EC/BC distinction.
