A few weeks ago, Dick MacKinnon touched on these subjects during his
invited remarks "DEFINING YOURSELF -- LIVING YOUR LIFE & PREVENTING SOME BAD
THINGS" at the University of Maine. Richard A. MacKinnon has, among many
titles, "Former Head of IBM Cambridge Scientific Center".

The business case for CP40 was Project Mac, which IBM lost. But the
engineers (and some customers) recognized the value in CP and CMS and
fostered it in spite of the MIT spanking.

Not in the beginning. It was a 'face saver' after IBM lost the bid for Project
MAC and was an outgrowth of CP-40 and the failure of TSS/360.
Yes, at one point it was 'saved' by making the case for MVS development, but by
that time there was considerable customer pressure that preceded the polit

In fact if history and memory, or is it memory of history serves me there
was no buisness case for CP67 (VM) to even be born.

I think the offset in the SPEC stage following X2C should be 1 to provide
two bytes for the hex value:

This question is not well understood by most and the rules have changed
drastically. Since we have installations with 30gb or even 50GB of
expanded storage being used very effectively, i know there are some
ROT's out there that are slightly "bogus".
IF your linux servers are not polling (or i
To be explicit, I would allocate 5GB of your 35G z/VM LPAR to expanded
storage, and leave 30GB as central.

Hi, Martha.
IMHO, I don't think the system can make effective use of expanded
storage above, say 8GB or 9GB. What you want to have is enough expanded
storage to satisfy the so-called 30 second paging requirement.
How do you tell if you have enough expanded storage to meet that goal?
Why, with a g
I know that this question has come up numerous times in the past, but
I'm don't recall ever seeing a consensus on it. I know that z/VM needs
expanded storage. However, deciding how much is the trick.

how to divide the storag

Hi, Jim.
Roger Deschner was a well known and respected VM systems programmer at
the University of Chicago in the 90s..not sure where he is theses

that it wasn't something IUO from IBM.
