When I started high school in 1956 I remember that there were IBM clocks
all through the school and they were syncronized by a master clock.
I don't know if the system was hard wired or the if the clocks received
a radio signal.
In 1963 I started working for Slippery Rock State College and there

Hello!
Jim, as I recall the company that we know now as IBM did in fact make clocks
as found in many schools. Sometimes they worked from signals delivered from
a central recording clock. And sometimes they wore a windup mechanism or
even an electric one.
They even made time clocks. One was even s
I saw a carbine like that in the IBM museum in Endicott. Gotta get back
there before I retire back to Texas in a year of so. I'm only about 35
miles up the road, now.
I remember that when I started school in a one room country school house
in 1949 that there was a clock on the wall that said
That was our speculation. Thanks.

In z/Architecture mode, bit 62 of CR0 has to be on. (It's the same bit -
just the numbering is different.)

They list for about $35K, so with discounts you can expect $22K upwards,
however, I don't think they attach directly to FICON lines, unless you
configure FCP protocol on the line. Otherwise, you need an A70 controller or
something similar.
If you use Fibre, you probably also need a SAN switch t
Is there any documentation of the changes to IUCV interrupts in 64-bit

When I've had a need to move 3390 volume images to another data center,
I've used CMSDDR to dump them to files, then transferred the files via
either RSCS or ISFC. CMSDDR does some sort of packing on the files it
creates. Empty 3390-3's result in far smaller output files than full
ones do.

To elaborate a little on what Kris said, the move to 5.2 really improved

dependence on low memory addresses. This was a huge relief for many of
us who were hogtied by the 2G line. In order to accomplish it, the CP

While I wait for a return call from an IBM reseller, can anyone give me
a rough ballpark number for the cost of an ESCON attached 3592/TS1120

go off-site, if that narrows down which variant I need.

z/VM 5.2 changed a lot in its storage management to improve handling real
storage above 2GB. Consequently, if you'd have execs that use information
from CP control blocks, they may have to be adapted before they can run in
z/VM 5.3.
With other words: the step from 5.1 to 5.2 is bigger than from
That looks like an IBM 3174 01L. I still have 4 of them running.
The tape drives are IBM 3420 Mod 6 (we still have 3 of them running). I don't

The rack mounted unit, reminds me of the IBM 9370 (not running one of them).
