Title

I'm not really happy with the title. These things were mainframe emulators, not mainframes themselves. Is there a better name for this class of product? "PC-based mainframe emulators" might be better. Did any other mainframe company also make a desktop with the same instruction set? --Wtshymanski (talk) 16:56, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
