Hi Folks,
I have a client who is running OS/390 2.5 and they cannot upgrade their OS for
many reasons, let’s just not go there!
They have asked what is the latest z Hardware they can use whilst running
OS/390 2.5, but I am struggling to find any info out there at the moment.
I know its old, un
Any hardware if running under z/vm. Some model issues may raised (like

This should not be the only solution.
Check a product/company it is called lzlabs.
You can run all your software on x86.

At first I thought "why bother" because people expect Linux software for

Mark, if your client goes the VM way, he need to be careful, the machine
might report wrong capacity and they will have to agree on capacity with
IBM and other vendors. I have a client that runs this way, and had lot of
issues with vendors and IBM.

The reason that Vista is so good is that I was actually user #2. Tom was #1.

Well, it was planned well in advance of the breakaway activities. But
if anyone here is thinking of going soon, we had no issues at all.
There were Catalonia flags hanging from balconies, a few flags of Spain

OS/390 is still 31-bit only. I know zOS 1.4 will run on a mono-processor

Back in the sixties when Federal Systems was big, I seem to remember graphics
