While it did work, the performance was awful, to say the least. Of
course, this was done on a smallish S/390 box and certainly not on
a z9
or z10 series platform.
Yes, Google is my friend. There's even a Debian package, I see.
I, too, would be very interested is performance numbers from
state-of-the-art hardware. There could be virtualization uses
at some point. My shop is a heavy MS shop and trying to retire
their Multiprise 3000. It would be nice to pilot the migration
of some Windows servers onto our lightly loaded VM/ESA system.
You can't run Bochs acceptably on an MP3000. It's going to be like
running on, I dunno, a 10 MHz Intel.
