Re: Query on running OS/390 under Herc on P390.

    I suggest that you read your license.

    If OS/390 is licensed to the P/390 card,
 remove it from the PC-Server 500, wrap it
 in non-flammable plastic, and put it in a
 newer PC.  Run Hercules under Linux or
 Windows on the newer PC.

    If OS/390 is licensed to the PC-Server
 500, replace the PC-Server 500 motherboard,
 memory, processor, hard drives, video card,
 CD-ROM to DVD, add USB, add Firewire, etc.
 Run Hercules under Linux or Windows.

    Neither solution involves the PC
 operating system that IBM killed.
