Wondering if anybody here is an old school VM sysprog and/or plays with VM/370?

I have played with mainframe VM in the past, even co-authored some IBM redbooks on zVM, so wanting to play with that as something new.

I didn't play around on huge computers when they were around, but I do have an account @ pub400.com to get my [emulated] IBM i 7.5 action on!

Its pretty cool to imagine using a dumb terminal to access all that 'horsepower'...

I'm having to dig deep to remember how to do some things, but wondering
if anybody else tinkers with it as well...

I have. It's a bit of a bummer in some ways (no XEDIT, no PIPE,
no RSCS) but it's recognizably VM.
