[REQ] Mainframe operating systems

[pool7]

Hope this isn't against the rules, but if it is, please feel free to close/delete the thread.

I recently grew an interest in Mainframes and I'm currently looking for some/most of the OS's that ran on these beasts.
Any and all versions are welcome, but mostly looking for the following (higher priority first):

TPF 4.1
AIX/ESA
ALCS 2.3.1
ALCS 2.4.1
Fujitsu MSP
Hitachi VOS3
VSE/ESA 2.7 (ADCD)
ACP 9.2
z/VSE 3.1 (ADCD)
z/VM 3.1 (ADCD)
z/VM 4.4 (ADCD)
z/TPF
MVS/XA
MVS/ESA
MVS/ESA OpenEdition
AIX/370

[Darkstar]

seconded! Especially the ADCD distributions would be welcome. Everything you find on the 'net is just preinstalled disk images of z/OS etc.

BTW you did notice that there's an OS/400 on BA already, right? It's not directly a "Mainframe OS" but the concepts are similar (though there's no emulator out there for the AS400, and there probably will never be one)

[pool7]

Yup; I've seen ISOs of a Demopkg (labeled as ADCD, but it's not) of OS/390 V2R10, as well as VM/ESA 2.4 ADCD.
There's also files corresponding to ADCD of z/OS 1.10

I found some more on P2P, but not being actively shared.

I did notice the OS/400, but as you mention it's not mainframe, there's no emulator that I know of, and it's in German which I don't know

PS: Glad to know I'm not the only one interested

[cualquiercosa327]

Hello.i was able to download some ISOS.it take me a lot could found (and time to download because no many person sharing on emule).
if i dont remember bad they are the ADCD of z/OS (excuse me i dont remind the version).
I download to install them on hercules emulator.
http://www.hercules-390.org/

they were some great articles where show how install and make it run ,but i dont remind if i keep them also on digital form (i print but let a friend who loose them
I have on DVD and also on my HD-Backup ,if you want i can look it an add the full name/version here

Also if you want i can upload them
Dani

[pool7]

Thanks Dani; if you could check the full name and version that'd be great.

[cualquiercosa327]

I am also very interesting on mainframe ,is a HUGE world (look the redbooks.(Are freely available on IBM ..)
i recomend for people able to understand spanish this forum : http://www.dinoland.com.ar/

Hello.Here have the disks are 6.The problem was the docu/tutos i had recollected have no here:it seem i lost .

Burn the iso and unzip the ckd files. Use the config file as a sample to start

*** WARNING ***
For an unknown reason Hercules 3.02 cannot start the DB2 V8. DB8GDBM1 gets an S0C1.
You have to install the 3.03 CVS version to circumvent this problem.
To install it, follow the instructions on the Hercule page http://www.conmicro.cx/hercules/
Anyway it is the only problem I had with 3.02. The 3.03 CVS is rock stable

Have fun

[pool7]

Definitely interested in the z/OS 1.5 ADCD ISOs!
I found it in the mule, but no one is sharing (not actively anyway).
If you don't mind uploading them somewhere, I'd really really appreciate it.

[mrpijey]

It would indeed be great to save these on the FTP for the future.

[cualquiercosa327]

Hello,i dont know how/where upload them.These days i could not until next week afternoons.If you want i can upload to the ftp directly.

[mrpijey]

Please send them up and I'll make them available to the members. Please pack them up though to avoid undetected corruption etc.

[cualquiercosa327]

Ok.i was reading about now.
while i was doing i found this web:

That's a joke, not real working credentials.

[mrpijey]

That's a joke, not real working credentials.

Yeah, and we all are laughing hysterically at this "joke"...

Now back on topic please.

[cualquiercosa327]

Hello,excuse me the delay : it has been imposible to upload before.
Now i would try to upload them.
Dani

Ah,a friend has told me he maybe could found "VM/ESA 2.40" (I dont know the age of this version,but i know it is
the same as VMDOS,VMVSE... ) which could be considerated a "recorted" version of z/OS for smaller busisness.

I am looking z/VM (The hypervisor) for trying to install Linux and this OS on them.

[pool7]

If you don't mind, please upload z/OS 1.5 first

[cualquiercosa327]

agg,excuse me.It seem i can not upload the files from here : they must be a firewall which dont let me conect this port
It is a shame because from here i can upload faster than other places.. :/
sorry.
i will try almost upload the smaller this night from home.
excuse me again
and yes : i will try 1.5 because are 6 gb (less than the other) (it seem is because the format they came : one are isos)

[pool7]

You can try contacting mrpijey via PM and see if he has another place you can upload.
Alternatively, you can upload somewhere else (ie. mega, 4shared, etc) and ask someone to download/upload to BA's FTP (I can do it, though my upload speed is not very good and will take a while).

[the_doctor2]

It would indeed be great to save these on the FTP for the future.

I have some of those on the list as well as a few others and would like to upload them.
Can I put them on the FTP despite lacking the photographic evidence?

-t_d

[mrpijey]

Yes, as long as you label each release properly according to BA standards.

[the_doctor2]

Yes, as long as you label each release properly according to BA standards.

That's great, because I have already begun uploading

[cualquiercosa327]

Hi ,
<pool7> I decided to upload them let the home pc conected at home and uploading during all the night.here speed is no very hight but leting several nights i hope be able to upload it .

<the_doctor2> ,could you told what has you? (for no upload the same ).
I was going to upload the 1.5 version during the night today

Ah,would not have you some z/VM?

i hope this work fine at last.

[cualquiercosa327]

Me again,excuse me for so many "problems".I have tried the same program (cyberduck) and i had the same problem i had yesterday.
(Filezilla doesnt work ) and i decided tried "fireftp" a pluggin for firefox (the same when i did the first test here,at home).
Maybe the problems i had yesterday was these.Anyway i am going to upload now the files it can during the night from v1.5 .
I have seen the directories from the_doctor and anonim.I saw the file anonim upload with a dir called done and i am trying to download (but it is too slow also).

Also i had other problem : it doesnt let me create a dir and i upload two files to the / when i tried to move the full dir from my pc.
i ask the admin excuse me and delete this 2 files.

[pool7]

If you're uploading to the FTP "anonymously" (ie. without having your own user), you can't rename or delete files; you can only upload.
Also, you can't download from the uploads; if you want to download, you'll have to wait until you get your user as well as wait until the uploads are approved and moved to the corresponding area of the FTP.

[cualquiercosa327]

Hello.
I have just come to the pc and it has uploaded a 0 % ! :/
I dont know if the firefox has crashed or what has happened.
I will try again on the afternoon from other place with better net conexion.sorry
thanks pool7.
as i said what is on the / can be deleted ,the same as on cualquiercosa327 dir except the "IBM ADCD ZOS V1.5" (but only have a instructions file which are 6 Kb ...

[mrpijey]

Firefox? Why are you using firefox? You're supposed to use an FTP client.

Also, PM me and I'll give you FTP login to my private server for the uploads.
