Probably not. VS1 and VS2 had to be patched for 3380 support, and I don't remember any announcements for 3370 or other FBA devices for MVS or SVS. (I *really* wish IBM would bring back the announcement and sales manual archives for the no-longer-marketed stuff in some form. It's really annoying not to be able to look this up online any more. I'd even pay for a copy of that older material -- it's not like it's competitive information any longer...sigh.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
