We have a requirement to interface an archaic 2314 disk drive
with the MVS/XA Version 2 Release 2 operating system.

Has anyone done this before ?  If so, how ? 

   o     Did you build a UIM (Unit Information Module) ?
         Were you able to use other IBM devices' support modules
         and routines or did these modules have to written from
         scratch ?
   o     Were there any other requirements for DFP (Device
         Facility Product) ?
   o     Were modifications required to the application code that
         accessed the device, or did the application access the
         device via JCL ?
   o     Does anyone have any hardware manuals for the 2314, (CCW
         strings, etc.)

Any references would be sincerely appreciated.
