Slight correction. The z800 can still run in "basic" mode. At least
according to:

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/library/specsheets/pdf/gm1
30116.pdf

unless there is something in the latest z/VM release that demands LPAR
mode on the z800. I know that the newer z890, z990, and z9 series are
LPAR only.
