Update 2023/09/10

After the successful distribution of Volker Bandke's Turnkey 3 and Jürgen Winkelmanns' Turnkey 4-, Turnkey 5 is now available. TK5 is fully restructured but still based upon TK3, TK4 and TK4ROB.
MVS TK5 consists of only 15 DASD volumes (reduces from 28 volumes in TK4+). Most of the volumes are 3390 type DASD.

In keeping with the commitment to keep TK5 current, Update 1 is now available for download.

MVS was IBM’s flagship mainframe operating system from the mid-seventies until the mid-eighties. MVS TK5 is an implementation of OS/VS2 MVS Release 3.8J. The successors to MVS 3.8, MVS/XA, MVS/ESA, OS/390 and z/OS all demonstrate their OS/VS MVS 3.8 heritage.
