MVS 3.8J is the final public domain version of IBM's
OS/370 MVS operating system, released in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
It runs with 24-bit addressability so it can only address 16MB of
virtual storage.
It only supports 3 hexadecimal digit I/O addresses.
Aside from those limitations, it has quite a lot in common with today's
OS/390 and z/OS systems and can still perform useful work. For information
on running MVS 3.8J under the Hercules emulator, see
this pagewhich provides further resources.
See also the H390-MVS MVS38j Links page for additional documentation and software. |
