Where is the Twilight Zone music when you need it? The first URL describes hardware features needed for OS/390 2.10 and says they will be available in Sept 2000. We bought our 2003-106 no later than summer of 98 and it has been running 2.10 for several years now. Did IBM really beat the target data by more than 2 years? -Original Message- From: Edward Jaffe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 9:04 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: OS/390 2.10 architecture level set 1 (and beyond)?

Re: OS/390 2.10 architecture level set 1 (and beyond)?
So the "scheduled for availability" phrase applies to 2.10, not the hardware features. I guess I don't read enough announcements to appreciate the nuances of IBM's phrasing.

Re: OS/390 2.10 architecture level set 1 (and beyond)?
Basically, IBM tries (not always as successfully as some on this list would like) to make hardware advances well ahead of the software that requires them. For example 64 bit hardware was available well before z/OS 1.5 which requires it. The ALS for OS/390 2.10 was also supported in hardware for about 2 years before the release of 2.10.
