Hi,

We are looking for a laptop which is capable of running VM, OS/390,
VSE, etc.  Anyone know of any piece of hardware like this?

Thanks,

Steve Bossen

Best suggestion I can make is the Hercules 370/390 emulator running under
Linux. Won't be blindingly fast, but has been reported to successfully run
all three (except for VM/ESA in ESA mode, which requires SIE, something
Hercules doesn't have (yet)). Check out the Hercules page at
http://www.conmicro.cx/hercules for info.

As far as I know, there are no laptops that include PCI or MicroChannel
slots in their portable configuration, which precludes your other option (a
P/390 board).

I believe that Dell was probably Flex-ES on a Laptop.  A number of trainers
and ISV's use Flex under Linux on a laptop.  Dell makes a good
brand for this because the disk options are well suited to OS/390
space requirements.  Anyway, on say a 700Mhz laptop you may expect
about 12MIPS nominal.  The PCMCIA ethernet card is used as a 3172 to give
you connectivity.  If you've gone to SHARE or WAVV, you may have see one at
the
Barnard Software, Data21, or  Lockstar booth, or Charlie Rice's classes.
