Section 1. Summary of Changes to the VM/370 System This section discusses the changes made to the V8/370 system for this release. It also contains information on programs and devices that can use the V8/370 environment or a restricted V8/370 environment without incompatibilities to existing program or device support. Highlights The following is a list of new function and new device support for VM/370 Release 6: • 3031 Attached Processor Complex Support • 12 and 16 Megabyte Available Processor Storage Capability • 4331 and 4341 Processor Support • 3203 Model 5 Printer Support • 3800 Printing Subsystem Support • 3850 Mass Storage System (MSS) Extended Support • VM/370 Measurement Facility (Monitor) • Trace Table Size Change • Shared Segment Modifications • Multiple Alternate Consoles Support e LOGON/AUTOLOG/LINK Journaling Option • Password-On-The-Command-Line Suppression Option • Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem (RSCS) Networking program Product • Special Message Facility • Modification to DIAGNOSE X'S' Interface • Directory Update-In-Place Support • Directory program Fast I/O support • Support for Message No Header {MSGNOH} Command • Read Inhibit Support • Automatic Reinitialization Support • DL/1 in a CMS/DOS Environment Section 1. Summary of Changes to the V"/370 System 1-1
3031 Attached Processor Complex Support V8/370 Release 6 supports the 3031 Attached Prccessor Co.plex which consists of a 3031 processor, a 3041 attached processor, a 3036 console with dual disFlays, and two 3017 power units. Main storage as well as channel and I/O functions are Frovided by the 3031 processor. The 3041 attached processor contains an instruction execution function ana a buffer control function. This enhances the total system's ability to handle .achine language instructions, reduces the effective data storage access time, and speeds processing. The support of this processor requires no code changes to V8/310.
