I wasn't aware that the 370 actually had been put on a chip or that there
was a 370/AT.  Pretty interesting.  (BTW yes, I'm familiar with both the
implementation of the XT/370 and the architecture of the "real" 370.)

Your point about compatibility is well taken, except ...
Large mainframe packages are being moved to the PC, but to MS-DOS, not the
XT/370.  PC-FOCUS and PC-204 are already available, and they don't run under
CMS.  I have yet to see any mention of any software being available for the
XT/370.  I also haven't seen any discussion of using or programming the
thing in any of the major micro magazines (with the exception of the Byte
special issue on IBM PCs), or on the net.

So here are some questions:  Does anybody out there use an XT/370 or an
AT/370?  What sorts of applications are you running?  Did you buy the
software commercially, or did you move it yourself?
