OK I realise this is cheating slightly but I still thought it was quite 
cool that it worked...

VM/370 R6 under Hercules on an N800:

Just wish the thing had a CF slot and thus could take a Microdrive, in 
order that I wouldn't have to worry about frequent writes to flash 
storage. Speaking of which does anyone know if VMS can live without page 
and swap files? Somehow it doesn't seem likely... Trying to work out how I 
could make it do as little writes as possible to the FS, e.g. by disabling 
opcom, auditing and so on. And is there a 'noatime' mount option 
equivalent for ODS?
