Hello!
I did indeed. In fact a member of the 9672 family that I met several
years ago, admittedly not running VM, he was running something posing
as Open MVS, with original RS/6000s working as workstations. I was
impressed. That's how I realized what the machine used to communicate
with us besides the usual terminals.
It also confirmed a theory, then, on how the whole nature behind the
basic I/O channels work, one I am still studying today.
And this happened shortly after the RS/6000 basic design was
announced, figure about 1995 or so. Perhaps as late as 1998. It was at
UNIX Expo.
I also met the RS/6000 system there as was impressed by it. But not as
much as when I see a Z box at work.
Alan please realize that I am aware of how far VM has grown up into
z/VM, but I needed to offer a marker as to what I was used to.
