That's common in the mainframe world. Unisys (ex Univac) still has its Dorado mainframes binary compatible with the Univac 1100 released in 1962.

- the_only_law 3y agoI think I remember reading a while back that System/360 binaries can still run on modern Z/architecture mainframes.
- shortlived 3y agoYup, that’s the example I cited above.
- the_only_law 3y agoOops, missed that, I came in from the comments link.
- sillywalk 3y agoI thought the Unisys mainframes have been running emulated on X86/X86-64 for a while? I assume they have some sort of binary translator.
- rahen 3y agoYes, you got it right. The Dorados now run a binary emulator on top of a microcomputer (x86_64) architecture, while IBM Z (itself essentially a 64-bit S390 arch) kept a mainframe configuration.
