Do you remember the name of the emulator?
Was it provided by IBM, if so was not running production on it against the TOS?
If it was not supplied by IBM then it was certainly not legal as far as IBMs legal team is concerned.
I only ever saw a demo of the IBM emulator.
It was only offered for short time if memory serves.
I do remember the emulator being painfully slow.
This is not strange given the amount of emulation it had to do
to emulate the SYSTEM/36/360 architecture.
The IBM model 5364 was called the "System/36 PC" or "Desktop 36"is about the size of a regular computer.
The full machine fits your description well

- klelatti 4y agoI didn't have direct contact with the emulator (it was >20 years ago and I wasn't working for the firm concerned) but this was in a highly regulated industry so I'd be astonished if it wasn't compliant with any TOS. Yes, the 5360 was the bigger machine I was involved with. We also the 'Compact' 5362 but not the 'Desktop' 5364 model. The Desktop S/36 only appeared in 1985 after I left IBM.
