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.
