Jerome Fine replies:

If you are using hardware which runs any of the above three OSs, then
you may not be using a PC with W95/98. Now, I would be the very
last person (well maybe not the very last - I have heard some rants
about W95/98 and while I think they are mostly justified I refrain
from such strong language) to recommend W95/98, but I have given
in because that is all I have available to use for e-mail and news
groups and I don't feel like investing that much time in a VMS system
that I can't find support for plus I don't have room for a grey wall.
So please let us not get off topic since I will agree with you.

BUT, there is a wonderful hobby emulator that runs under DOS/W95/W98
call Eratz-11 or E11 for short by John Wilson. So if you can't have your
own 11/34 and you do have a PC, the free hobby emulator is at:
http://www.dbit.com/pub/e11/
It also emulates many other Unibus CPUs and most of the Qbus CPUs.
There is also a commercial version which is even better than the hobby
version. I understand there will be a commercial version for the PC
which runs under Linux.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
