Hercules


Ever since I saw my first IBM mainframe (a 360/30 at Charter Consolidated in Ashford, Kent in about 1970), it has been my dream to own and operate a "real" computer.

Thirty years later, I still don't have my own mainframe, so I created Hercules instead. It's a little toy which will turn your Pentium PC into an IBM mainframe. Well, almost!

Hercules is a System/370 and ESA/390 emulator which can IPL and execute S/370 and ESA/390 instructions. It can also emulate CKD and FBA DASD, printer, card reader, tape, and local non-SNA 3270 devices.
