[luau] WHOA! IBM Mainframe Emulator!

[Warren Togami]

WHOA!  Some guys wrote an Open Source IBM mainframe emulator that runs on
x86, Alpha and Sparc (and S/390) platforms.  They claim it has roughly 80%
MIPS of the host system.

Anyone know where to get an S/390 Linux distribution?  I want to play with
this puppy!

Also check out Moshe Bar's column that talks about this emulator (scroll
down past the anti-Sun FUD at the top).  This guy is a really good tech
writer.
