From: Olivier THEBAULT <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > OS/400 doesn't run on MI ? no, most of it was rewritten in C++. some of that was translated into NMI (new MI), but lower layers do not use the MI-model. So, transferring OS/400 from CISC to RISC was not as simple as just retranslating it during a program restore. It should have been done that way, but wasn't (AFAIK). > > From: "Leif Svalgaard" <leif=vPETv0UHqg8@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Olivier THEBAULT <othebault=39ZsbGIQGT5GWvitb5QawA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > Is it possible to create a MI emulator on Intel processor ? > > > > > > > yes, and not all that difficult.
