In this tutoral we are going to install VM/370 into the Hercules emulator.
Requirements
I am going to use Hercules version 3.03 for Windows, namely the version found here. You will need the following files for the OS install: vm370r6-essentials.tar.gz CPR6L0.ddr.aws.bz2 VMREL6.ddr.aws.bz2
- bzip2
Some kind of 3270 emulator program... I use QWS3270.
Getting started
First pick a location for your emulator. I'm going to use c:\temp\herc. Run the emulator, and it'll let you select a place to install the files..
Next extract the vm370r6-essentials.tar.gz file, in your 'setup' directory and it'll create an 'essentials' sub directory.
Finally decompress both CPR6L0.ddr.aws.bz2 & VMREL6.ddr.aws.bz2 into the 'essentials' directory.
With all of these in place we next create a configuration file as the supplied one will not work with 'new' versions of Hercules.
I am going to use the configuration file here:
CPUSERIAL 000777 # CPU serial number CPUMODEL 3158 # CPU model number MAINSIZE 2 # Main storage size in megabytes XPNDSIZE 0 # Expanded storage size in megabytes CNSLPORT 3270 # TCP port number to which consoles connect NUMCPU 1 # Number of CPUs LOADPARM 0120.... # IPL parameter OSTAILOR VM # OS tailoring PANRATE FAST # Panel refresh rate #missing ARCHMODE S/370 # .-----------------------Device number # | .-----------------Device type # | | .---------File name and parameters # | | | # V V V #--- ---- -------------------- #0009 3270 000C 3505 000D 3525 punch00d.txt ascii 000E 1403 print00e.txt crlf 001F 3215 0040 3270 0041 3270 0580 3420 dmkddr.aws 0581 3420 VMREL6.ddr.aws 0582 3420 CPR6L0.ddr.aws 0131 3330 VMREL6.3330-1 0132 3330 CPR6L0.3330-1
The crucial addition is the "ARCHMODE".
