Does someone know the reason behind why IBM introduced the unexpected factor 3 via 48 KiB required grain on DASD?
Not that I am actually surprised what IBM introduces, cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31-bit
It was important to distinguish between 24bit and 31bit :-) I grew up with working in 24 and 31bit mode. 48Kb is the size of an IBM 3390 track.
