An excellent goal. As a point of comparison, have you ever run Windows
using the Bochs emulator on zLinux? If so, on what machine? (I'd like to
see someone try it on a z10.)
Are you saying or asking if has run Bochs on a mainframe? That would
be a very significant achievement.
Dave, yes, Boch, running Windows NT itself, has been hosted on top of a
zLinux guest, running under z/VM. This feat was accomplished by my
colleague Adam Thornton, who clearly has way too much free time on his
hands. ;-)
While it did work, the performance was awful, to say the least. Of
course, this was done on a smallish S/390 box and certainly not on a z9
or z10 series platform.
