<SNIPPAGE> >From reading, z/VOS ipls itself. It is a advanced instruction emulator and jit type translator of some sort. The z9 and z10 machines have PCI bus on them. Why not just have an actual Xeon on a PCI card with some sort of interface circuitry? <SNIPPAGE> Wouldn't that make the z/OS a type of AS/400? Then wouldn't that cause the FS crowd to get un-happy?
