Eeek, that's pretty long!
IBM had DASD (anyone pronouce it?); CDC had RMS.
Crossing between
the two cultures could be very confusing.
I say "dazzdee". I've never heard anyone say "Dee Ay Ess
Dee". How about IBM's CKD - always "See Kay
Dee"?
Once, exactly once, I've heard "sicked" and "fibba" for CKD and
FBA.
I spell out the letters.
BTW, did anyone else use CKD (other than PCMs),
perhaps RCA (who arguably
was a PCM+)?
I've never heard of it outside of IBM; it was pretty specific to their
implementation as far as I know.
And was the 3390-3 the last CKD DASD?
Hmm, good question! I don't have a ready reference to DASD model
numbers and specs.
