Well, the battle is over, and.... guess what, FBA won. SCSI/SAS/SATA is basically all FBA. Wonder what would have happened if IBM hat shut up Poughkeepsie. Would the world have moved off mainframes in the way it has?

So this is an obvious analogy... if it doesn't connect to MVS, OS/ESA, OS/390, z/OS it doesn't exist. "FBA... change you could have believed in." But "change is hard"... and expensive.
