If there were changes that affected initializing
disk they may be after subversion? Code was being

Snapshot page is basically static since 2/10/09, ie no updates to source so binary snapshots are the same. Inquiry posted on hercules main as to status and request for updated binary.If there were changes that affected initializing

If you use disks without alternate cylinders like
3390-2184, you might need to use ICKSADSF R16 or
specify MIMIC(MINI(2184)) to init? For ICKDSF R13
I thought that MIMIC would only work under VM so
MVS ICKDSF R13 might not work without a USERMOD?
It's been many years. I could remember wrong.

Do you need ICKDSF R13 PTFs or others from me?
Not for now.http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-390/message/55799
Which I tried with the standalone version of ICKDSF R13.0A, and this is what happened:IBM redbook SG24-4847 says that you need
ICKDSF 16.0A or later to format emulated dasd
(which has no alternate cylinders).
Earlier versions of ICKDSF can be used but
you would need to add MIMIC(MINI(nnn)) to the
CPVOLUME command (nnn=885 for 3380).

So is a CPVOLUME formatted DASD the same as a normal MVS INIT formated DASD ? The output mentions it operating in VM/370 mode.
And what happens when we try 3390-2184 created by dasdinit ?
