Re-reading the original question, it appears that OP is talking about z9 + z/VM 5.1 | Linux s390x | Hercules | z/VM 6.1 | Linux If that's really the suggested configuration, then I need a very urgent drink and Graeme needs a great deal of patience ;-) Assuming Hercules would run on s390x (would not be surprised to find some big endian worms in the can) and it would be made to simulate the relevant bits of the z10, then my guess is there will be 2 orders of magnitude lost in the game. And why would one want to? Most relevant things in z/VM 6.1 will be retrofitted to z/VM 5.1 anyway (and the rest would depend on aspects that might even require another z/VM in between :-) Rob
