IX/370 is designed to run solely in a virtual machine environment (i.e.,
it can't run standalone on a S/370 or 370-XA machine).  thus, it can
co-exist with other virtual machines running any other operating system
supported by VM (almost every one ever made for 360/370 machines). 
terminal i/o is handled through series/1 mini's that allows full duplex
terminal communications within the s/370 channel architecture.
cost is high and it comes sourceless.  if anyone hasn't seen it posted
already (it was on arpanet), i can send the full announcement letter.
