No (about the "free", not about the "dead for decades"), DOS/VS was the last really free base (last version Release 34?). Perhaps technically DOS/VSE was "free", as there didn't appear to be a monthly licensing charge for DOS/VSE itself (Computerworld, April 30, 1979, p4), but in the practical sense a production DOS/VSE system was definitely not free as there were monthly support charges for DOS/VSE and separate monthly licensing plus support charges for must-have VSE add-on components like VSE/Power and others. DOS/VSE came out with the IBM 4331 & 4341 processors in 1979 and supported running in both S/370 mode or the ECPS:VSE mode supported by the 4300 processor family. > >> Does anyone run VSE on the bare metal? > ITYM on the bare LPAR; I'm not aware of any z processors that supports > running anything but PR/SM on the bare metal.
