z/OS is a licensed product from IBM (read $$$'s involved). Generally you
can't run anything newer
than MVS 3.8j on Hercules. See the Hercules website
(http://www.hercules-390.eu). It has links
to other sites where you can get various OS's and other programs that
can be legally run.
Note that there is a "turnkey" system for MVS 3.8j that is set up for
Hercules that has an ISPF-like
clone. I have that set up to run on my Mac. I also have the VM/370
"sixpack" installed as well
when I want to run VM/370.
The version of z/OS installed on my MP3000 does have ISPF (along with
lots of other program
products) installed.

Does it include ISPF? Using MVS is a bear without it...

I spent some time today and made a video of my MP 3000 system booting
up to z/OS. The video is here: http://youtu.be/WnJmeQR0GQU.
Sadly I'll have to wait until I get home to watch it. YouTube is blocked
where I work. I suspect I'll be experiencing extreme envy as I watch it.
The closest I have is Hercules running the OSes freely available to
hobbyists. Just one thing - one doesn't boot z/OS, one IPL's z/OS. :-)

What's the definition of a legacy system? One that works!
