Actually, if you simply recompile pdos/generic/bios.c as a z/OS Unix executable, you should be able to run that bios (pseudobios) executable instead of exec pgm=bios in batch, and then if you log on with this: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos-basic-skills?topic=unix-direct-login-zos-shell you should be able to use the provided microemacs for z/PDOS-generic The fba1b1.vhd EBCDIC FAT32 disk file would just be another file on z/OS Unix. I don't know if z/OS Unix programs use the same calling convention as MVS (ie OS linkage), as that is a requirement. Although even then, that could likely be worked around at the pseudobios level (bios.c) with appropriate startup code. If someone is interested in that particular configuration, I could work with them such that I provide code (and makefile), they do the building/testing (and report any issues to me). BFN.
