DOS/VSE, VM/SP, MVS. Depending on the 31 model number you get, you
may not really want to run MVS.

It really depends on your application.

Yes.

6'x3'x6', give or take a little. I've never really gotten a yardstick out
to measure our '81, but the '31 is comparible in size.

Again, depends on the model number. I believe up to 2.4.

3380's, 3375's; I'm not sure on the 3390's, I suppose it really depends on
the disk control unit you get.

PC-Mainframe, from CR-Software. Its a really nice package, and only runs
about $10k.
