   Hercules is the hercules team's own implementation of a software defined   
   machine that can execute the IBM instruction set. Hercules is not s/370.   
   Hercules is not s/390. Hercules is not z/Arch. When you monkey around with   
   hercules, all you are doing is    
   changing the way the hercules VM executes. You are not in the least changing   
   anything about the way IBM does/did it, nor are you changing the specs for an   
   IBM architecture.   
      
   So, if you want to say it's possible to create a modified hercules, then sure.   
   But thats all it is, a modified hercules.   
      
   "Hercules is compliant with IBM's ALS-1, ALS-2 and ALS-3 architectural level   
   sets to the degree necessary to run all OS/390 versions through 2.10 and known   
   versions of z/OS in both ARCHLVL 1 and ARCHLVL 2 mode, and Linux and z/VM in   
   both ESA/390 and z/   
   Architecture mode."
