I know that now , but at the time, I didn't. And that was the time waster --
figuring out that SYSGEN's device ID field is nowadays essentially ignored,
even though the IODFAULT file is filled with choices for you use, with even
more choices apparently available on the system (such as the Quantum
Fireball), but not listed.
