This stimulates. Why should they not be able to run UNIX/LINEX/AS400/Alpha-VMS or even Windows on Z chips without Z/OS or VM. I have no idea what the instruction set burned into the metal is like nor how I/O is really done at the hardware level. The ONLY metal instruction I know of is SIE and I saw that one here less than a month ago. Does only the milli/micro/nano code have to change for it to pretend to be anything desired? Does this level resemble S/360 decedents POP instructions at all? I saw some S/370 micro code listings about 30 years ago, but... For all I know the Z chips have the same "metal" instruction set as the Pentium X/Y/Z whatever. Pointers desired and apreciated.
