Have you ever hoped to try your hand on an operating\u00a0system designed for an\u00a0big iron<\/a>\u00a0computer?<\/p>\n

For example, z\/OS?<\/p>\n

The problem is that nobody has the hardware at home to ride such a monster.<\/p>\n

As it takes, here’s how to run z\/OS in the hercules emulator for PC.<\/p>\n

Configuration<\/h2>\n

A key element\u00a0to run Z\/OS\u00a0on\u00a0Hercules\u00a0is the\u00a0hercules\u00a0configuration file.<\/p>\n

This file\u00a0informs,\u00a0amongst other things,\u00a0the location of\u00a0DASD\u00a0files.<\/p>\n

To\u00a0illustrate this, assume\u00a0that the\u00a0DASD\u00a0files\u00a0are\u00a0in \/hercules\/cckd.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0will then\u00a0inform the\u00a0hercules.cnf\u00a0file\u00a0in the following way:<\/p>\n
