> all running on an IBM3084Q with Phoenix as the OS

Digressing, but I wonder if any copies of Phoenix/MVS survive, and if so, whether it could be made to run under Hercules



The (final version of the) physical Phoenix computer still exists, but the disks are missing - see https://www.computermuseum.org.uk/fixed_pages/IBM3084.html

A backup was taken before shutdown: https://web.archive.org/web/20041115131602/http://www.cam.ac...

I would be surprised if someone, somewhere, didn't still have a copy of what would nowadays be considered to be an absurdly small amount of data. If they do, I wouldn't be surprised if they read HN.
