Not to beat a dead horse...but

  I've seen in many a threads on the various Hercules groups about 
IBM's refusal to make more recent versions of VM/VSE/MVS available 
for hercules...but...

  Has anyone proposed to IBM that obsolete versions, such as the SP 
versions of the OS be made available for sale to hobbyists?  I don't 
know if y'all would be willing to pay for it, but I would probably 
shell out a little cash for VM/SP or VSE/SP to run on Hercules.

  As for me, my first experience on the mainframe was as an operator 
on DOS/VSE.  I don't remember the version, but I believe it was the 
version that was the immediate predecessor to VSE/SP.

  Just a thought.  I know we would like it for free, but it is IBM's 
property, even if the SP versions have long since been obsolete.

Regards to Herculeans.
