Added mention of PC-based 64-bit prohibition
Line 36:
 
Another popular emulator is the open source [[Hercules emulator]], which has been in development since 1999 and emulates the System/370, System/390, and z/Architecture instruction sets. While Hercules cannot legally run modern IBM operating systems, earlier System/370 operating systems are in the public ___domain and can be legally run on Hercules.
 
As of December, 2007, there are no authorized PC-based [[64-bit]] mainframe-compatible systems. Thus there is no legal way to run [[z/OS]] 1.6 (or higher), [[DB2]] V8 (or higher), [[z/TPF]], or [[z/VSE]] 4.1 (or higher) on PC-based machines.
