Jim said:

"Prior to z/OS 1.12, z/OS IPL uses Dynamic Address Translation while
still in ESA/390 mode.  z14  and later machines do not do ESA/390 DAT.  So
the
oldest z/OS that could possibly IPL on a z14 or later machine would be z/OS
1.12.
Running under z/VM would make no difference in this regard."

There's nothing to differ about Brian. You said that running z/OS 1.10
under z/VM on z13 and z14 works, and Jim said thats physically impossible
because the hardware doesnt support it, since it doesnt do ESA/390 DAT.
