They wanted APL on the 5100, so they implemented a 360 emulator and ran the original implementation of APL on that. discuss order hn newest m463|1 year ago I thought it was pretty cool when they had a pci(?) card you could add to a PC that could run VM/SP fredoralive|1 year ago The later generation mainframe-in-a-PC cards were PCI, but they’d also done MCA and ISA ones, going back to the XT/370.The XT/370 is particularly bonkers, as it uses a combo of a 68000 and an 8087 with custom microcode in them to run System 370 code. gattilorenz|1 year ago And that’s why John Titor came back :)
