 SD> That's really cool.  The oldest computer I've used is a VAX.

On the other side of the Great Digital Divide, Hercules is an IBM System/360
emulator that will run on something as small as a Raspberry Pi. MVS 3.8j
(circa 1980?) is available for it, and you can download a full system ready
to go. YouTube user Moshix has a lengthy and excellent series of videos that
talk you through just about anything you could want to do.
