I've got all the Hercules material I need to install either VM/CMS or MVS on a Hercules system. Now I'm waiting for the new linux machine, although I'm also considering running it on my Windows box.
But the point is moot for the next couple of weeks while my folks visit. I haven't' seen them for a year so the last thing I want is to become scarce during their stay as I figure this all out.
More in a couple of weeks.
