When I decide it's time for some Un*x retro-computing.
but bochs? http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ an emulator of the >i80386 chip. I use it to run Windows at times, fool around with QNX (though only qnx4 seems to like it.), and minix, freedos and others. Isn't hercules a brand of video card? http://www.conmicro.cx/hercules/ Not this one. It's an IBM System 370 to System 390 emulator, and allows you to have a mainframe on your PC. I've got it running with VM/370 6 plc 29, MVS 3.8j, and expect when I have learnt a lot more, to get it running with other mainframe OSes, like DOS 3.4 and Debian GNU/Linux. I want to get myself back into CP/m, while I'm at it, only problem is I don't have any idea if there is still an emulator for the Z80. Oh, and there a couple of Unix-compatible OSes for the C64, just in case you're not aware. I'm hoping I can get my grubby little paws on a suitable emulator for that as well. With any luck, they'll all support the (emulated) TCP/IP network and the NE2000 card emulation, so I can run myself a little virtual network between S/370, x86, z80 and c64 systems.
