Heh, that'd be awesome, running MSDOS in QEMU on a MicroVAX 3400 :)

Then, run an MS-DOS PDP-11 or VAX simulator. ;)

Sick-o. ;)

Once, whilst hanging out with a friend in Philadelphia around 1992 or
so, gawking over his brand-new Sun SPARCstation-2...He ran up a copy of
SoftPC under SunOS.   I noticed that it emulated an 80286, so we hunted
around and got a copy of SCO Xenix/286 and installed that under SoftPC,
running under SunOS.

Aaaaaargh. Now i almost want to run TME or qemu to run SunOS and repeat this setup. ;)


It was slower than pissing tar, but it worked!

(we were drinking a bit..)
