The program LISTICAT on the CBT tape file 527 has a listing of the device type
codes as shown in the catalog and the device type for printing. Hope that is
what you are interested in.

Hi,
In our environment, we have a mix of emulated 3390-9 and 3390-54. When we
have a need for small volumes (page, etc), we use 3390-9s and backfill them
with rarely referenced files - documentation, etc. I tend to keep the system
on 3390-9s (except SMPPTS!), as there was (once) a bit o
