Multics and AS400:DPS8M on IBM PASE for I (OS/400) (2024) (dps8m.gitlab.io)

What I’d really like to see is an emulator for AS/400 on mainstream hardware. QEMU supports PPC emulation for AIX, but RISC OS/400 needs some extra features it doesn’t emulate, and I don’t know if anybody has ever built an emulator for the CISC platform (probably IBM had one internally at some point, but I doubt any of their internal bits will ever see the light of day)


Aside: For those like me wondering wtf is up with that colon after "AS400", it's apparently not a colon and two spaces (which would likely be replaced with just one space), but rather "U+FF1A: FULLWIDTH COLON"


DPS8M is an emulator, so sadly no native Multics on AS400.

You can also run DPS8M on a Raspberry Pi. ;-)
