You order the "DVD" version of the product, not the DDR, and select a tape format (which is ignored, but required). Why do you say that Shopz requires the DDR? I just set up a Shopz order (short of actually shipping it), and it didn't whine about needing the DDR. If you navigate to "How to buy" on the z/VM Home Page, you find a couple of "Ordering tips" links. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
