Sure, I have a couple CP/M emulators (Z80), and an Apple II+ emulator.
I believe there is a C64 emulator out there somewhere.

I never got it to work (and no longer have it)
An Atari 8-bit emulator is under development.

Cool! You mean I will now no longer suffer from the lack of functionality
when I switched from my Atari XL to an IBM 8088, and then to my current
386sx? I will now be able to use all my wonderful Atari software on my
386sx! My suffering is over! ;)

I would view a step from an XL to an 8088 as a step down, considering the
things I used to do with my Atari that took a long time for me to figure
out on the PC... :)
Atari software was/is cool.
IBM software is usually pretty boring.

re 4: Strange statements, Atari software was/is cool.
IBM software is usually pretty boring. You must be referring to
games, and of course Atari is a company known for its games.
Most business software I suppose looks "boring" next to a good game.
I like software that gets the job done that I'm trying to do.
I guess whether or not it's "cool" never entered my mind.

re#5: nah, I meant the software for "hobbyist" computers (like the old
Ataris) was always more interesting and "neater" and more unique and
more exciting to the boring, bland software available for PCs today.
No one has any imagination anymore. Everything looks and feels the
same.
re#6: Yeah, there is one. Never got it to work though... but it's PD
and available.
