Re: [Simh] Release of a set of simulators for IBM 7000 series mainframes.

2017-12-29 Thread Gregg Levine
Hello!
There's already a very capable emulator for the IBM S/360 and IBM
S/370 and possibly the Z900 series members. That is the Hercules-390
one. And it will do practically everything expected, it will run the
VM/370 ones and the DOS/360 also the ones you're thinking of.

In fact at one point it was rated to run the legally available OSes
for the Flexes job faster. (Which demolished the fellow behind it.)

Hi Tim,

   I can only find the TSS/370 dist on the Hercules sites. I looked at
   the source and it only supports a 370, not a 360/67. If you know of
   a 360/67 version of this let me know.

   Yes I know, however the only compilers are for OS/360. There is also
   DOSVS/370, OS/VS1 available. 

   Hercules is a very good simulator for a 390, it sort of does a 370,
   but does not simulate a 360. It also does all I/O instantly, rather
   then over time like a real 360 would. Also it can only set memory to
   I think 2Mb min. My 360 will go from 16k to 4M (16M if you want). I
   am not trying to replace Hercules, rather do something different.

  I've been following this. Will be interesting to see what comes out
  of it.

There are VM/370 and MVS 3.8j dist available on Internet for IBM 370 system.

I am working on MP facility on my MSE emulator to handle multi-processor
systems. I successfully created and execute thread process for additional

  I have a 360 in the works, however it does not want to run DOS/360 or
  OS/360. Anyone caring to help debug, let me know. Not sure if I will
  add in support for the 370. I would like to do a 67 mod, especially
  if I can find a copy of CP/67 or CP/40 or TSS/360. Right now only
  MTS prior to version 3 or 4 supports the 67. Not going beyond a 370
  though. I might do a 650 simulator, since that is basically a
  modification to my 7070 simulator. For a 390 and above there is
  Hercules which does a real good job.

My sincere congratulations, Richard. I've keeping track of from time to
time on your website your continuous effort with these simulators and I've
even trying some of them. The Simulation of Historical Computing Systems is
what it is thanks to the efforts of people like you.

I'd like to extend this comment to other developers of simulated systems
(and contributors) linked to this list that have provide additions to SIMH
from time to time. Between fifteen and twenty years ago I had my first
contact with this and the advances from this date to now are impressive.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
