What a find! Pristine and complete! Congratulations!!!
Best to you at getting it up and running - esp. VM/370 and MVS. However, the
"current" VSE/SP is also an excellent OS...
Thanks! Yes, I'm sure VSE is a great OS, many people speak highly of
it. I just don't know anything about it. Is there a VSE distribution
floating around that I could run under Hercules, or perhaps on a P/390?
There may be a link here:

Technically, Hercules will run just about all IBM MF OSs. However, legally, one can only
run: OS/360, DOS/360, DOS/VS, MVS, VM/370, and TSS/370 which IBM released to the public
domain and/or under copyright for non-commercial use only.
I found more info on DOS/VS (not VSE, but close ;-) 1n the Hercules FAQ:
2.07 Where can I obtain DOS/VS ?
I've put the DOS/VS r34 install tape on my site. It'll expand to a 21 MB AWSTAPE
file, dosrel34.aws. You need the Coverletter to install it. Read the relevant postings of
the Hercules mailing list first, as the install process is quite obscure.
You can grab those files at :
