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?

For years, in the era of PROFS, I said of typical CMS users: "If it's not
on a PFkey, it doesn't exist!"
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. Yet in hindsight...

Of course ... if IBM still sold FBA channel attached storage,
there would be no "formatting" required (in the low level sense).
I had to. I had to say it. Blame Poughkeepsie.
