The above quote was originally written as a joke.

It is real.
Not yet done with the configuration and set-up of the various K5 models but enough code has been run to know this will work.

Spoiler:

But stay tuned, support for IBM/360/370/S-390 code on the Kindles is being considered by twobob and myself.

This is not a promise of upcoming support, only a experiment for now:
http://www.hercules-390.eu/
{We where both running in 'sleep deprivation' mode when we discussed it.}

twobob did a great job on the cross-compile of Hercules.

All of the materials that may be used in this project are being pushed to public repositories. With a bit of re-organization as time passes:

• The original repository, is becoming a historical archive of available mainframe operating systems and software.
  https://bitbucket.org/knc1/kindle-mainframe
• The expansion of the archives associated with os360 has its own working repository:
  https://bitbucket.org/knc1/kindle-os360-mvt
  The MIA archive has been provided by Dave McGuire.
• The expansion of the archives associated with vm370 has its own working repository:
  https://bitbucket.org/knc1/kindle-vm370
• The expansion of the archives associated with the last public domain release of MVS is located at:
  https://bitbucket.org/knc1/kindle-mvs
• The expansion of the archives associated with s370/mts has its own working repository:
  https://bitbucket.org/knc1/kindle-s390-mts
  The overview read-me file annotated to clearify the name vs. original hardware issue.
• A clone of the current Hercules github repository is at:
  https://bitbucket.org/knc1/clone-of-hercules-390

All of these repositories are "dual admin'd" (twobob and myself) as is our policy.

The Disk Image files are too large to post as attachments here at MR, so an alternate distribution point will be established.
Most likely, from the KUAL web of http://wiki.knetconnect.com

This work is still using the K5/Hercules posted in the second post of this thread.

Meanwhile, for your reading pleasure, the documentation for the emulator is attached. The 'User Reference' pdf is a good starting point.

For those who might be interested in reusing broken screen Kindles as a cluster of K5/370 or K5/390 mainframes . . . .
Those mainframes communicate between each other using a 'channel-to-channel' adapter.
The HerculesNetworking.txt read-me document describes the CTC support available.
