I'm also interested if any of these s/370 *ix ever escaped captivity.
The earliest stuff may be covered by Novell's grant of early code.
I'd be willing to pay for a lawyer to help liberate any contested
material.
I have an R/390 (1990s era), z800 (2000s era) and z114 (2010s era) at
home. And Hercules. Would be fun to run *ix on any of them.

Recent commentary on porting led me to read the
article on porting
UNIX to S/370 (https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/otherports/ibm.pdf)
to support 5ESS development because the existing PDP11s were being
overwhelmed. I confess to not having this read this before and find
it interesting. Any recollections from anyone on the matter. And
whatever happened to it?
