Re: The best mainframe books = J. Ranade IBM Series

There is an Assembler list at http://www.listserv.uga.edu/ "[email protected]" 
Also a Yahoo group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/hercules-s370asm/
Also stuff from the java based emulator

P.S. you should pick up an older edition of Struble from Amazon for under $10 including p&p so long as you in mainstream WestPondia...

    Thanks eveyone for all the book reccomendations.. I will have to see if I can find any of these in my local library,

    I can't justify spending the 30-50 bucks for one of these books when this is currently just a hobby and I am currently
    not working. I would love to have a 'mainframe' job (well perhaps not tape-ape or printer monkey) and then be able
    to justify this sort of cost. 

    Right now I am working on a BS-Information systems security at ITT-Technical Institute. If you know anyone
    with a mainframe in Sacramento CA that is hiring, I have a resume for them.

    I occasionally find some web resources.. many assume a greater knowlege of the system than I have.

    I am currently looking for
    - more on the OS - Program linkage
    - File and Printer I/O in assembly language
