Tom, The point I was making was that IBM had some DASD subsystems for large(r) customers with integrated controllers unlike the 3990/3390 before the Shark. I never had physical 3390s in any of the shops I worked at, but had 9340, RAMAC, and RVA; and liked all of them. Definitely shrunk the DASD footprint compared to the 3880/3380s they replaced. :-)
