Yes, if the IBM 2105 ESS (SHARK) or an equivalent device from another vendor properly emulates a 3380 or 3390 DASD, MVS/Quick-Ref will function correctly; however, some IBM 2105 ESS microcode levels may cause problems for MVS/Quick-Ref. The MVS/Quick-Ref Support Group recommends that your 2105 microcode be at a minimum maintenance level of 1.5.2.91. Please see MVS/Quick-Ref zap fix QZ0206A for more information.
