Basically "NO" , there are no reduced charges. You can download the

You used to be able to get IBM software on a "one time charge" basis but
usually folks transfer that licence to the new machine.

Out of curiosity, do you have any of these running with a recent OS (z/OS,
z/VM)? When I investigated the possibility it seemed like you had to pay
IBM at least a few hundred bucks a month in licensing, I was wondering if
anything has changed for hobbyists now that even 64-bit z series machines
are available used at prices a mere mortal could potentially afford.

I do.
Which ones?
