I do not at present unfortunately. It seems the z/VM evaluation can work on Hercules with
enough work, but my knowledge of the internals of IBM stuff is minimal so I wouldn't
be able to set that up.
I wonder if there's an evaluation or hobbyist z/OS release...

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 forget, do you have physical IBM
systems too? I know you have Cray
gear..
I do.
Which ones?
