>Hitachi’s operating system, VOS Hitachi's operating system is now called VOS3/XS in its latest iteration, introduced in 2018. VOS3/XS runs on the new Hitachi AP10000 model machines, also introduced in 2018. IBM is Hitachi's system technology partner, but VOS3 does not run on today's IBM Z machines. VOS3 runs on Hitachi's machines. The latest Hitachi AP10000 is a "cousin" to the IBM z14 ZR1. Historically, for a couple IBM Z model cycles and with a little adaptation, VOS3 did run quite well on IBM Z machines. It was VOS3/LS back then, if I'm correct about vintages. Hitachi built the IBM z800 model for the global market (including Japan) using IBM processors, and Hitachi also built a variant of that model for Japan to run VOS3/LS, the VOS3 update introduced in 2002 that incorporated a very little bit of 64-bit-ness. I think there was enough VOS3/LS compatibility in the IBM z800, z890, and z9BC (those three models as I recall) so that it'd run well on the IBM machines, with a bit of adjustment.

It'd have to be MUSIC/SP 6.1 or higher, and you would need permission from its copyright holders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
