   If all goes well, I will have an S/390 G5 within the next couple of 
weeks.  I haven't seen the machine, and I'm unsure of its 
configuration, and I have no way to run it (no 3-phase power at 
home...I can run my Crays but not my S/390, terrible!) but I'm trying 
to work that out.  If I can find a way to make enough money with it to 
cover power and space costs, I will try to make an LPAR (at least) 
available for NetBSD development.

   I have a lot of experience with various types of hardware and I'm an 
accomplished programmer, but I lack knowledge of kernel internals and I 
know next to nothing about IBM mainframe iron.  I hope to change that 
when I get this machine up.
