Hercules emulator allows you to run virtually any OS for S/390 and descendants,
and there are pre-made images somewhere on the Net with turn-key IBM
MVS installation.

http://www.cray-cyber.org provides public supercomputer systems, from
Cray, Control Data Corporation, NEC and Bull :) (guest account is down
due to an attack where it was used -_- )

The OS'es there are:
Cray: UNICOS(TM) - Unix based
CDC 6600-compatibles: NOS or NOS/VE
CDC 4680: EP/IX (UNIX based)
NEC SX-4: Super-UX - Unix based
NEC UP4800: UX4800 11.5

Pity is that only Cray Y-MP EL is 24/7, so you may have to talk with
them to have access to others

Keep up with good work, my "Operating Systems Vade Mecum" (R.A.Finkel)
is getting a little old :)
