While it may be able to run under z/VM using a kludge that to my knowledge, has never been tested, search the archives for a posting by Jim Mulder 2 or three years back. The issue has to do with the introduction of the multi-level TLB's in the current machines.

If you get a fast enough PC, you can probably beat the MIPS of what your running it on now;) What is the purpose of the question? Is it just a "gee, I wonder", or is there a real need to give it a go? I have done a lot of (well over 100) conversions from even as far back as MVS/SP and MVS/XA to z/OS in the past few years and it's not impossible to convert quickly, but there are a lot of better ways to handle the conversion to a newer operating system level than to just dump the old version on a new processor type and hope to be able to convert that way.:) I was going to give a Share presentation on just this type of thing, but the revenue to send me this time just wasn't available. :( Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
