So, what's the proper OS for a Neander computer user? ;-)

DOS 3.1 of course.

Unless OS/MFT or Multics will fit on a desktop :-).

Actually, even OS/MVS (non-XA), including SPF, _will_ fit on a desktop.
If you've got a "P-370" card, it runs _native_ on the co-processor board.

Othewise there is the 'Hercules' emulator, which will run anything from
about TOS/360 (that's Tape Operating System -- for sites that
couldn't afford rotating mass storage, aka 'disk drives') forward. I think
it does XA, and
even Z-system. *scary* piece of software.

Especially when you consider that it outperforms the early hardware.
