Re: Unable to startup TurnKey MVS 3.8 after installation. Help needed.

Hello Ed,

Thanks for your post on this thread. No, MVS38j is not running directly under VMware. My configuration is VMware ---> Windows 2003--->MVS38j == 3 layers of "OS" if you include VMware. 
Now that you mentioned it, I will one day try to run MVS38j as a Guest OS on VMware. But right now, I am just excited getting my own "Big Iron" all to myself!!

Thanks everyone
