why

boss just got some specialty computation software we need, but it only runs on a Z-system. It was also supplied to us on a tape.

>how do I emulate a mainframe?
by writing an emulator

>type "z-system emulator" into duckduckgo

that was hard

sorry, I don't use computers well. Does this work with hotmail?

doing a bit of reading, it looks like it's legally impossible to use most/all IBM mainframe operating systems on an emulator
an emulator like hercules just emulates the hardware, you still need to obtain and install a copy of an OS to run on it, and IBM doesn't give that shit out to people without an IBM mainframe

>what is the pirate bay

i said legally impossible... not impossible
