Sorry, Debian runs on 390's. That would be the debian-s390 mailing
list:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-s390/
The emulator package that may be helpful (either to read your data set
or to provide a source for further documentation) is hercules. Note
that hercules only provides the virtual hardware. I don't suppose you
kept a copy of OS/360 with those old tapes?
For all I know, you can get the software you need off the internet. Or,
if modern debian-s390 provides the services to read the dataset, you may
be able to install debian into a hercules s390. Hercules can apparently
emulate a 360/370/390.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
Doug.
