It might work for Linux, but not for any of IBM's proprietary operating systems:
"But the 2066-0E1 and 0A1 are too powerful for thousands of IBM's mainframe users - even a secondhand Multiprise 3000 H30 is too large for most. In the 1970s and 1980s when licence charges were 'per system' and not 'per MIPS', this would not have been a problem - small users with modest growth were a good market for cascaded secondhand hardware. Since the adoption of graduated charges based on machine capacity, this is not the case - if a small company receives a larger system as a gift, its software costs can bankrupt them." >From http://www.isham-research.com/low_end_mainframes.html (A bit old now.
