I was more thinking about fooling the SE code into believing it is
talking to a mainframe. It doesn't actually need to control anything,
just keep track of various settings and respond as needed. And you
would have to give the simulator your email and phone number so it can
complain if you left your imaginary CBU test running more than 10 days :)
Ok, probably none of this is going to happen, but it's just a thought.

Perhaps it's worth remembering that even a zPDT only emulates an LPAR.
There is no emulation of the whole z machine.

I've heard of people running a virtualized HMC. I see no reason why an SE
couldn't be virtualized as long as it has the expected communications path to
the CEC.
Obviously it's a very unsupported configuration. The context I've heard it in
is individuals that have purchased a retired CEC and need an HMC / SE for it.
It works for them.
