Anyone know where I can get my hands on an emulator of an IBM 360/370?
Always wanted to meet one, and I'm curious. (Taking a shortish rest from
working on the '10. I'm into paging and such now and it's giving me fits.)
Failing that, anyone know where to get documentation so I can hack one up
after I'm done fighting with E10?
Altavista search turns up junk matches (resumes and such) and a couple
emulators that have disappeared.

Try http://www.snipix.freeserve.co.uk/hercules.htm for an in-progress
370/390 emulator. You can also download a 3330 DASD image ("DASD" = IBM's
term for hard disk - "Direct Access Storage Device") containing a mimimal
OS/360 MFT installation from the FAQ page there.
Documentation? You want documentation? We got documentation.

If you can wait until the end of january (hopefully) you will be able
to use the real machine. As some of you probably know I have acquired
a complete 4381 and am working to put it back on-line accessible
from internet

[Gonna have a real 360]
Cool! Can you explain to me then how to IPL OS/360?
I have it, and the emulator, but no idea how to make it go. ^_^

IBM will still sell you (and relatively cheaply) the Principles of Operation
documents for the 360, 370, 370/XA, ESA 370, and 390.
IBM has a web site for ordering documentation, but it's just about
impossible to find (i.e., a search from www.ibm.com does not find it),
and unfortunately I don't seem to have the URL. I ordered some manuals
from them about two months ago, including the 360
Principles of Operation,
the 360/30 Functional Characteristics, and the 360/67
Functional
Characteristics.
Unfortunately they obsoleted the majority of the 360 manuals about 18
months ago. There are still some 370 manuals available.

Did anybody buy some of those emulation card sets that turned up a few
months ago on the list? Some surplus place claimed for have a bunch of for
like $50 a pop, then seemed to back off later on about having many at all.

They don't have any left. (In spite of the fact that their last mailing
still had them on the sheet).
I got the last one last go 'round -- and it doesn't seem to want to work,
though I have heard of others whose cards seem to work -- so I suspect I
just got "lucky".
