Mike:
z/VM will support OS//390 V2R8 if and only if OS/390 V2R8 is supported on
the underlying hardware (regardless of whether z/OS V2R8 is still in
support).

Subject: Running os/390 as a guest
Hello,
May I run OS/390 V2R8 as a guest under any of the supported releases of
z/VM? I believe it is unsupported by IBM, but, does it work? OS/390 is
unsupported so I don't think I'm any worse off. I'm looking at bringing in
a smaller, newer, IBM mainframe and trying to save some money on my IBM
monthly license fees. But, I need to support an old guest running OS/390
V2R8. I can't afford to upgrade all the third party software that this
guest is using.
