Implementing the driver isn't an auditable offense.. gaining access to the volume through a DEDICATE or LINK, etc is another story - but that shouldn't discourage use of the driver. I see little difference between this and the cmsfs driver... access to a z/OS or CMS disk is auditable (or should be) - the ability to read a z/OS volume or CMS disk is not.
