I'm not sure if I really want to get involved in this thread, but what the heck.
I have installed a few flavors of Linux/390 under Hercules. Once I have it working I FTP the Hercules PC file up to the mainframe using binary. The output file on the mainframe is a sequential data set that has the following DCB, RECFM=F, LRECL=4096, and BLKSIZE=4096. Next I run the following program to load the Hercules image to a 3390 device (my 3390 is real, but it could be an EMIO 3390 of a MPxK), //LOAD1 EXEC PGM=CCKDLOAD,PARM=3E02 //STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=BHSRP.RWP.LOAD //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=BHSRP.TAO3390.ADDR3E02 I got the CCKDLOAD program from the internet, but I don't remember where. It reads Hercules image and writes it back out to a 3390 device. The 3390 device must be offline. I say 3390 but it can be whatever device type was used on the Hercules platform. But if it was a Hercules 3390 DASD image then you must restore to a 3390. FYI - my O/S on the mainframe is OS/390. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/26/04 03:37PM >>> Guys I don't think Hercules 3390 images are going to work on an MP2k. Even though the DASD is emulated, (aren't they all these days) I don't think you can use OS/2 emulated DASD like you can with an MP3K. Unlike an MP3K The dasd are in a different frame from the OS/2 SE.
