AIX on IBM370 machines

[Tony Li]

    Does anyone out there know if one could run AIX on a mainframe (IBM370)
    while also running OSes like MVS, CICS, and TSO?  

Yes, but you have to run VM underneath all of them.

							If this is possible
    is it possible for "files" to be shared between the OS partitions
    while they are running?  

Only via NFS.  And judging by what I've seen so far, that won't be
transparent or evey reasonably useful.  

				Also, will AIX work with the existing 3270
    terminals, or does one need to add ASCII terminals for AIX?

AIX requires that users be on ASCII terminals connected through the
network.  There is no 7171 support.  Yet.

This is a test.  This is a only a test.  In the event of a real life
you would have been given instructions.
