It is a shame to hear about your contract termination.
But if you are looking for a VM hobby, you could get a copy of Hercules
and VM/370 R6, and begin making new tools for that community. :)
My new laptop gives VM about 21 MIPS, a whole lot more than the Amdahl
470V6 that I last ran VM/370 on.

About fixing it: on 30 June the contract with my customer ends. So 20
years of my life come to an end: I started there when they where
creating a Client/Server VM ( CSP, PLI, APPC, DB2) application with
OS/2 and VM in the middle. It is now moved to z/OS.
So, at that time I will no longer have z/VM systems to play with. On
the IBM systems I do only have an ordinary class G user...
My future is still uncertain and if nobody asks for VM services, I'm
sure IBM Belgium will make me do other work; bye bye 30 years VM
carreer then :-( As Belgium is small, I consider taking projects
elsewhere too.
I doubt I'll find time next week: the cleanup process is taking my
time (no we will not simply scratch all the VM stuff, I'll save it
-shrinked and upleveled to 5.3). A copy for the customer and one for
me.
