I was, it was late in the uk. Note that whilst in general a z9 can run 360
applications it can not run 360 or 370 operating systems as it does not
support 370 style io instructions.

Where
do you get that? Are you confusing the z9 with the IBM Roadrunner?
The z9 is full of z9 microprocessors, which natively execute the
z/Architecture 1 instruction set, which is an enhanced version of ESA/390,
which was an enhanced version of ESA/370, which was an enhanced version of
System/370 XA, which was an enhanced version of System/370, which was an
enhanced version of System/360.
In other words, the z9 microprocessor can natively execute System/360 and
System/370 code.
