[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Simulator for IBM 370 architecture

marcel@duteca (Marcel Mol) (10/11/90)

A friend of mine is looking for a piece of software that simulates
the 370 architecture. Does anyone know if such a thing exists, for example
on the IBM pc, or on some unix machine, or just a C program ...
Any help/pointers are appreciated.

----------

There is a program package from mid-1987, labelled PC370R30.ARC, which
provides a System/370 assembler running under MSDOS, an associated linker,
and a run-time environment that purports to simulate the System/370 CPU
architecture (I/O, channels, etc may not be supported).  The intention
of the package was to allow budding System/370 assembler programmers a
place to develop their skills away from the expensive mainframe.

If you can't find this in the usual places (e.g. BBS, SIMTEL), e-mail me,
and I'll see if I can dredge it up from my personal inventory.

I have such a beast present. I don't know if this is the latest version
(shurely not) and I can't say anithing about it because i always have a
370 at hand B-)

If there is a chance to get an enhanced version I would be glad to hear of.

        How about such emulator for a M68000 based machine?  (such as 
Atari ST or Amiga)?
