I have a real problem thinking that any current z/OS software will not run on the z800. z/OS 1.11 supports the z800 http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/9/897/ENUS209-029/ENUS209-029.PD F and the vendor products that support z/OS 1.11 should support the z800 without having to back level.
The same is not true for VM. z/VM 6.1 requires z10 http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/7/897/ENUS209-207/ENUS209-207.PD F.
