So the minimal zPDT cost, including at least $1K-$2K outlay for purchase of one of the few approved hardware platforms for running zPDT, is $5-6K for 1st year, $3,750 per year for later years -- but you have to be associated with a qualified IBM ParnerWorkd independent software vendor company. The price at least seems to be coming down, but still not something targeted for personal experimental use.
