Re: Steps for adding new volumes - I seem to be missing a step (or two)
FYI: Figured this out. TABLES has 6 slots defined and apparently that’s the max you can add either by patching to have them load automatically at IPL time or even dynamically with SYS:DSK.
So,

Re: Steps for adding new volumes - I seem to be missing a step (or two)
I was able to include this in the INIT scripts.
Next question: Apparently DMGR only allows 6 volumes. When I try to add #7, it complains that the volume doesn’t exist or no room left in the

Re: Steps for adding new volumes - I seem to be missing a step (or two)
I realy don't recall how DMGR is started or where it gets a list of disks. I haven't thought about this in around 30 years. I do know that the list of MTS volumes is stored in a table called (I

Re: Steps for adding new volumes - I seem to be missing a step (or two)
Got it working - Thanks
There has to be some way in the startup jobs to tell DMGR what volumes to add (actually disks – like D400, D401, etc) . I hope that’s not hardcoded in the system deck

Re: Steps for adding new volumes - I seem to be missing a step (or two)
I think so. After the ADD, do a DMGR:
ADD MTS601
DMGR MTS601
...
If I remember well, the additions are "temporary", you will need to run SYS:DSK again to (re-) add your disks after each

Steps for adding new volumes - I seem to be missing a step (or two)
I created some new disks using the Hercules utilities and attached them to addresses 0261, 0262 and 0263 in Hercules.cnf.
After re-IPL, I then used the DASDI macro under id FILE to format the

I was able to carefully change the text from "University of Michigan Computing Center" by editing *3270RTN. It's hardcoded in there.

The host code is stored in the CNFGIFNO area which is a collection of configuration info that is generated as part of the TABLES assembly. In principle it could easily be changed. However when I

Re: MTS as a guest of VM/370
The MTS team made available various historical versions of MTS. Some of

Re: MTS as a guest of VM/370
Just out of curiosity - how much does an ASMH license cost and can you even get one unless you also have a license for an IBM OS / other software?

Re: MTS as a guest of VM/370
MTS runs perfectly fine under Hercules, it's just that a build for VM/370 doesn't exist.
It might be fun to try and build an 'ancient' version of MTS that would run under VM/370 (I remember that SFU

Re: MTS as a guest of VM/370
That is correct. I don't think anyone has been able to assemble much of MTS without the MTS version of ASMH.
This may not matter too much in the current discussion since later versions of MTS only

Mike,
I don’t believe that is sufficient. I understand MTS system generation depends on having a MODIFIED version of Assembler H.

I wrote to Don Higgins about the z390 he has. The object deck that is created looks like it can be linked in z/os or any of the other operating systems except dos. Here is his reply.

Re: MTS as a guest of VM/370
You can't build versions of MTS (at least not the recent ones) as it requires ASM-H, which is an IBM licenced product.
Perhaps Mike can chime in if it is possible to build an earlier version of MTS -
