Radoslaw guess you mean BS3000 - it was a copy of MVS as i said . BS2000 is different - i had to run some benchmarks in 2002 - no JCL and no TSO , but ESCON attached EMC and IBM DASD.. and yes - both Hitachi and Fujitsu copied MVS . Frank
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 ?
