Heh, I think this is a subtle joke, and if so, well done o/

I actually have been trying for the longest time to get access to the Unisys MCP emulation platform that they used to make available. It's similar in spirit to Hercules <http://www.hercules-390.org/> but I think Unisys believes that folks should pay them $$$ for classes or training or something

The closest I got was running it on an emulated B-5500. Keeping it hidden may be a strategy to drive consultancy customers, but if feels more like a way to milk whatever little is left of the product from those who still haven’t moved on.
A shame, really. They could have gone the same route as IBM and kept investment on their proprietary tech, but they went Wintel for a long time before embracing Linux. As far as I know, latest versions of MCP run on Linux under emulation.
