Somebody said to me the z14 cards cannot be used in a Z15 or z16 because of
a difference in form factor! This seemed like an ill-informed comment to
me since all the cards probably use some sort of PCI connector and IBM
would not change them between model Z's. But it would be nice to be able to
quote some authoritative source as this person appears to have the ear of
some of our senior managers.
Most cards work, some cards don't.
We put a bunch of cards from our decommissioned z13s into our z15-T02 --
skipping past the z14 generation entirely.
Doing so was far, Far, FAR cheaper than buying them "net new..."
