I have never liked the distraction of a crosshair cursor.
The one exception was 3 decades ago, using a 4-in-1 3290 screen in the ops
bridge, where it was sometimes not easy to keep track of which of the 4
screens was 'active', which the crosshair did actually make it a lot more
obvious than the us
No cross-hairs for me (in this context). I think it looks hideodeous. If
I don't know where the cursor is, I just put it where I want it to be.
Now I have experience with all kinds of sysprogs and sysadmins that love to
restrict every feature and impose their will on every possible option; but

Tony,
Yep we did that also, when put out networks in.
It took to build a schema flexible enough to support 56 Internaltional
sites and all their LUs.

No, and no.
No, there is no z/OS system which work on z14, but would not work on EC12.
Note: z9 is different (much older) animal - it is not possible to IPL
z/OS 2.2+ (I'm not sure about 2.1) on z9. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
No, I don't refer to any "ALS". To be precise, for any mainframe OS

FYI,
Our long national nightmare is over. You can now go back to using

When VTAM/SNA went to Multi Systems Networking Facility (MSNF) in the 1980s,
shops suddenly needed to take the whole world into account when exposing
heretofore 'private' node names. Most shops had a SYSA, which would not do when
everyone began interconnecting.

You are referring to a "architectural level set".
I don’t have the details, but some OS'es will not support the hardware.
Some hardware will not support the OS;es.
E.G. z/OS 2.3 is not supported on z9 (I doubt it would work).
z/VM is your friend. You can mimic older hardware.

It is possible, despite what you mean exactly.
It is possible to set up some LPAR on EC12 and start here any z/OS (or
other OS) currently working on z14. It is possible to start vanilla new
OS on the EC12.LPAR.
Caution: possible does not mean legal. In theory starting licensed
