   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.
