If you use VMware Workstation 6.5 (as you said in your initial post)you have 5 layers: Windows or Linux host - VMware - Windows 2003 -Hercules - MVS38j.
Only VMware Server ESX (now ESXi) runs on bare metal (to tell the truth it's a heavily modified LINUX thar runs VMware..).
So IMHO it's better to run Hercules under your *FIRST* OS (Linux or Windows).
Don't try to run MVS38j as a Guest OS on VMware... you would be disappointed ;-)
MVS38j runs as a guest OS of Hercules under Linux or Windows; not VMware.
