Steve Wilkins VM Developer Page

A bit about Steve:
Since 1988, I have worked in various areas of VM, beginning in VM/SP development, and later working in VM/XA CP Development focusing on disk and tape support. When I'm not working on z/VM, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending concerts and hockey games, playing electric guitar, and riding a Harley on the occasional sunny days in upstate New York.

VM-related items:
I am the VM strategist for I/O device support. I've attended many conferences, customer sites, and briefings over the last several years. It has been a pleasure to talk with customers, especially those who attend the IBM System z Technical Conferences (US and EMEA) and the user groups SHARE, WAVV, BayBunch, and CAVMEN.

Here are some recent presentations I have written and/or presented at conferences and user group meetings:
