Dave,

Well I am looking forward to testing Hercules on an iMac quad-core i7 with at least 12GB of RAM and an SSD drive early next year (yes, tax filings will precipitate the purchase).

While I do intend to setup a bootable environment on the internal 2TB HD I will get, I also intend to setup a bootable SSD enviroment for testing such things as Hercules to see how many MIPS can be squezed out of it.

One has to wonder if the original developers of VM/370 ever considering that it might run on an SSD drive one day!?!

I am presume my "testing" will prove it functions well! :)
