I'd rather run Hercules on a Linux PC (or some UNIX box), or use a real
S/390 (or ES/9000) that I've got than bother with acquiring an
expensive, slow, and hard to find P/390 or R/390.

That's not the only configuration that works. If you're running
mainframe OS on a P/390, the P/390 can address the ARTIC960 as a
parallel channel inside the OS. Patrick Finnegan wrote:

You do know that the ARTIC960 parallel channel adapters Just

Peace... Sridhar
are the for hooking an aix box as a device to the mainframe, or
vice versa?
I believe there was discussion on the Hercules group, and there was
no support for running Bus/Tag devices from AIX. It is meant to
allow an AIX box to do something like support operations as a
communications controller or other to the Mainframe.
