Why not try to force the 370 Unix described in the BLTJ October 1984 issue
"out of the bowels of" AT&T?  It claims to be "standalone", and (from the
available public descriptions of both systems) appears to be very similar
to what IX/370 would be "on the bare metal".

One word of caution.  Those who try to force things "out of the bowels of"
other entities should watch where they stand (:-).

Any opinions (stated or implied), errors (obvious or subtle), or other bad
things are mine, not Big Blue's.
