If there are z13 models not listed in the earlier LSPR link, then why aren't they there? Or did I miss them? Again, the lowest z13 MSU I saw was about double what I need and on a bloody uniprocessor. I am z/OS and will be until its turned off. My most critical z/OS software comes from a vendor totally un-amenable to sub-capacity charging.
And, yes, I do know that there are a couple z12 models that fit. I am only currently whining about the z13 :) > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Timothy Sipples > Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 10:02 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: z13 unanswered question. > > Dave Gibney writes: > >This could then be a problem for me. > > Phil Smith wrote: > >IBM said there will be no EC/BC distinction.
