I don't know roots of BS2000, but I saw some marketing documents
describing features of BS2000. Many names were similar to z/OS (MVS)
components. I vaguely rememer names similar to JCL, SDSF, TSO, ISPF...
BTW: I believe that Hitachi VOS and Fujitsu MSP are VERY SIMILAR to MVS.
I saw some manuals i.e. STK software implementation for MSP or EMC
software for VOS. You can find VTAM, JCL, JES, datasets. To much similar
to be coincidence.
I also heard about legal issues with (at least) MSP. As far as I heard
both MSP and VOS are not legally sold outside Japan.
I heard about another system using some components similar to IBM:
Unisys mainframes were using ESCON channels, although the OS wasn't
similar. How it's called ? Amadeus ?

no - i know Hitachi (not HDS) had also a Operating System -
maybe this was VOS.
But i did support for the FACOM OS IV/F4 -
sold in Europe from Siemens as BS3000.
We called it BS3000 MSP10 and MSP20 in those days -
in the early 80s.
Learned a lot this time reading dumps with 5000 pages and more .
Really paper !

Frank,
Speaking about Japan, do you mean running VOS? I think it is/was HDS
hardware.
