How to run DOS/VS 34 under VM/ESA


 

When I try to boot dos/vs 34 under VM/ESA it dies with disabled psw. The same config works fine under hercules directly. I defined VM as 370 already.

DOS/VS R34 is available on 3350 disks and I think VM/ESA does not support 3350 anymore.

I did fix that. Now my vm/esa accepts 3350 disks. This can be achieved by modifying the hcprio assemble file something like this:
?
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(140,16),DEVTYPE=3350
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(150,8),DEVTYPE=3330,MODEL=1
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(160,8),DEVTYPE=3340
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(170,8),DEVTYPE=3375
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(240,16),DEVTYPE=3350
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(270,8),DEVTYPE=3375
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(340,16),DEVTYPE=3350
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(360,8),DEVTYPE=3350
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(6A0,16),DEVTYPE=3350
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(6B0,16),DEVTYPE=3350
? ? ? ? ?RDEVICE DEVNO=(6C0,16),DEVTYPE=3350
?
This then avoids loop when vm/esa tries to sense disks.?
