K5/370 - Day three
Quote:
The VM/370 configuration file has the loading of the MVS-3.8 operating system as the 'first' guest OS commented out.
I think I will try running that (MVS) under VM/370

Hey, if a person is certain to drown, they might as well jump into the deep end of the pool.

It would probably be more practical on a Kindle to run MVS-3.8 on the bare K5/390 hardware (64Mbyte of ram in the K5/390 rather than the maximum of 16Mbyte of ram in the K5/370).
Plus - all of those cpu cycles saved by not running VM/370 just to host a single operating system.

PPS: The emulator reported that it had execute about 58 million instructions to IPL VM/370.

But those comment characters are there to be removed, so . . . .
Well, 'day two' has slopped over into 'day three' here.

Got a bit sidetracked with the KUAL/1130 -
Which could use some polish, but will leave that to Pop (someone who knows something about the machine and software).

So, getting back on the horse that threw me yesterday . . .

And while twobob recovers from the poor dithering of Win-95 running on a Kindle . . .


Will do some more of Hercules configuration files, see if I can get MVS release 3.8j up and running.

Note: Release 3.8j is the last public domain release of the operating system, but it is not dead, not even now.
Its new name is z/OS and our K5/390 **should** run it, if you have it and have a license to use it.

I did a google search for something on this subject yesterday and in the list of 'related images' found my avatar as #3 in the sample display.
