IBM offered extended support for z/OS 1.12 through September 30, 2017, for a fee. That end date was "close enough" to miss the first shipments of the first IBM z14 machines. To my knowledge IBM never did the work to make z/OS 1.12 tolerate the IBM z14 machines, so if that particular combination wor
