Welcome back! Sorry to disappoint you, but IBM doesn't license z/VM Version 5 or z/OS for PC use except as part of IBM PartnerWorld, a program for commercial software development shops. (Don't worry - you are neither the first nor the last person to make this request.) But you really already have what you need: z/VM.
