Roland,

 

I am very sorry about IBM’s stand on z/VM, but I will be glad to test those 5 3590 type J tapes that you think are bad to see if it is the tape drive or actually the tapes that are bad.

Hello Jim, great news!

 

However, at the conference call, IBM rep. said "...I will licence the product if you can get a copy of z/VM distribution tape from somewhere else". However, he also said "(....getting a copy other than from IBM)... is not condomed nor recommended."

 

That is the "official" position of IBM. So, I am afraid you wouldn't get an "official" OK from IBM.

 

Thanks for your offering.

 

Regards,

We have the z/VM 4.4 Tapes but would need something from IBM saying it was ok for us to copy and give to you.

Hello Listers, sorry to bother you guys again.

 

We called IBM software to order z/VM 4.40. However, the rep.  said it was out of marketing since March 2006. He can't ship it to us. But, he said, if we can get a copy of the distribution tape, IBM will licence it for us.

 

Please contact me off-list if you are willing to lend a copy of the distribution tape for z/VM 4.40 for 3390 system. Greatly appreciated. 

With best regards,
