Re: M36 Limiting Virtual Devices

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dean,

These virtual devices are created on the fly by the S/36. I think there
is a configuration procedure that defines how many of these things you
can use. Maybe it's called something like CONFGICF (those S/26 memory
cells are dying off...). Aslo, you might want to look at the line or
controller definition to see if there are maximum devices defined
somewhere...
