I heavily recommend signing up for the Hercules yahoo groups for installing VM/370, MVS 3.8, DOS/VS, Music, PDOS, MVT 21.8F with APL\360, etc. Yes, they have been working on emulators, but using these versions of software. They even have install tape images and scripts to load empty volumes.
http://www.jaymoseley.com/hercules/installMVS/install.htm MVS 3.7 starter system then build 3.8. http://www.bsp-gmbh.com/turnkey/ http://www.bsp-gmbh.com/turnkey/cookbook/ Turnkey 3 CD-ROM with MVS 3.8J. The Hercules on the CD-Rom is quite old. http://mvs380.sourceforge.net/ Turnkey 3 MVS 3.8J with 31 bit extensions so GCC can recompile itself. Of course the extentions won't work on real hardware, but just skip the enabling instruction. http://wotho.ethz.ch/tk4-/ Turnkey 3 with cleanups and improvements without the 31 bit changes for GCC. So, pick one, install on hercules, xmit370 to disk files, download to PC, load up to your disks. How will you install your starter system?
