I was more thinking about fooling the SE code into believing it is talking to a mainframe. It doesn't actually need to control anything, just keep track of various settings and respond as needed. And you would have to give the simulator your email and phone number so it can complain if you left your imaginary CBU test running more than 10 days :)

Ok, probably none of this is going to happen, but it's just a thought.

Perhaps it's worth remembering that even a zPDT only emulates an LPAR.
There is no emulation of the whole z machine.

I've heard of people running a virtualized HMC.  I see no reason why an SE 
couldn't be virtualized as long as it has the expected communications path to 
the CEC.

Obviously it's a very unsupported configuration.  The context I've heard it in 
is individuals that have purchased a retired CEC and need an HMC / SE for it.  
It works for them.
