Umm, you can at least get OS/360 for free:

Right now I'm having trouble with their website, however... Anyways,
IBM put OS/360 in the public domain, and I've got a CD image with it on
there, for use with Hercules.

Now an S/360 is a different matter. I have worked
my legs for
something like seven years for one, and nothing has come my way
(although I missed that model 22 by a few weeks, I think). I have
also made a serious budget for one if Ebay finally pops one up, but
none have. Where am I to get one?
I mentioned the desire for a S/360 to an IBM rep this past weekend.
He said he couldn't give away the last one he had.
Also there is a problem of getting the software for it. He
mentioned that a developers license was available for ~15,000.
Has anyone asked IBM to consider a hobbyist license?
