Umm, no. That's what started this whole thread. Mainframe clocks drift as much as, if not more than, PC clocks, and are just as dependent on the "operator" to get it right in the first place. That's why sysplex timers, etc. are important.

S/390 differs from the PC I guess in that the TOD clock is probably vaguely accurate. Even then you'd want to query the TOD clock and use it as an NTP source to lock the software clock.
