I've thrown away all my PII and lower computers years ago, but I still have
a few PIII 450, 500, 600 etc. machines around that I can't get myself to
toss into the dumpster..  I ended up configuring a few as backup servers)

I've been able to run all the older pascal stuff here one way or another,
either using Unp+PatchCRT, TP75fix, or if all else fails I use MoSlo to slow
down the speed that the NTVDM runs at so that everything works.

Regards,  Mike
