It takes 20-30 minutes from the time that I hit the power switch until
there's a login
screen on the 3179s (not including the time it takes to IML the 3174
controller). So
you can see, I did a bit of editing to get a 9 minute video. ;-)
The service board is located in the chassis. It plugs into the PCI
backplane. However
other z/Series machines have an "external" laptop (though from what I
can tell, there's
a drawer that the laptop sits in that you pull out when you need to do
something with
the service element.

Well, that was an interesting video. How long did it take to get it fully
loaded ?
The "service" Celeron board, is it interfaced internally to the rest, or
externally ?

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!
