Scott, just saw this posted on IBM-MAIN by Ed Jaffe.  Ed is a recognized 

expert by his peers on IBM-MAIN.

We brought up z/OS 1.4 under z/VM on our z10 after numerous experts told 

us it wouldn't work. I've become quite skeptical of 
authoritative-sounding claims that certain hardware/software combination 

simply "won't work". Too many people are CYA and, if it hasn't been 
tested, they say it won't work. Empirical evidence is the best kind.

Of course, I don't have to tell you that "working" and being officially 

supported are not one and the same. ;-)
