I always used a 3278 mod 5 type device, not a PC. I had my PC right next to
my dumb terminal, which was really helpful when I was reading books in book
manager. I never used green for much, because that color was harder to see.

Alan, thanks for sharing this article. Maybe there's hope yet for me in my
job search. Now all IBM has to do is give some of that flexible pricing to
its current customers, so they can afford to stay on the mainframe.

If I remember correctly, the 2560 could read about 300 cards per minute.
Compare that to the 2540 (I think) being able to read about 1,000 CPM.
Punching on the 2560 was much slower, but I can't remember. I spent many a
day sorting decks of cards and running them through the 2560.

I'm curious. Does anyone know if say a 6 CP model with one book costs the
same as a 6 CP model with 2 books in the z processors? I know that if you
really plan to expand, that it is probably cheaper to start with 2 books
than one if you are going to have more than 8 CPs eventually - at least
Hi Mohamed,
Using indirect volser support is a good way to go. I would suggest one
other change. Start the Prod Lpar disks with P, and the Test Lpar ones with
T, rather than put them in the middle of the name. That way they stand out,
and all the Prod lpar disks are together in a list of v
The safe way is to copy the IPL pack to another volume. Expand SYS1.LINKLIB
on that pack, and then IPL from that pack after clipping it to the same
volser as you had before. I hope you are not planning on running SMP jobs

I remember on our 1410/1401 playing songs on the 1403 printer. There were
little object decks, maybe 1/2 inch thick. The Battle Hymn of the Republic
was a good song. Even the drums came through good. This was all done by
printing certain patterns to get different sounds. A couple of the son

Modern equipment is just so unsexy. With the old reel tapes, at least you
could see the tape spinning, and the tape bouncing up and down in the vacuum
columns. Cartridges you can't see anything.

I think my last company is a good example of old stuff costing more than
new. We built our datacenter in 1995. We ended up buying a 3090-600S.
That and all the real 3380 & 3390 dasd caused them to buy 4 big Liebert
units. At the time, the 9672 had been out for a while with about a 60 MIP

instead of 1 Prod Lpar and 1 Test Lpar, we should have had 2 Prod Lpars and
2 Test Lpars so we could run in sysplex mode? We also would need to define
a coupling facility, which I believe IBM always recommends 1 whole engine
