The following descriptions and figures assume this particular ThinkPad/EFS configuration. Other configurations and more complex systems are possible, but are not described here.
3.1.1 Brief introduction
Conceptually,
A S/390 instruction emulator, which might be seen as the heart of the system. It examines each S/390 operation code and emulates that operation, using the instructions of its underlying PC processor.
A resource manager that controls the interfaces between the emulated S/390 processors and emulated I/O devices and connections.
Emulators for various S/390 I/O devices.
