Ken,

I'm not sure what a PC is these days.  I certainly was envisioning a
hardware form-factor similar to the Intel-based thingies I own.  I
mentioned running OS/400 on Intel in an earlier post on this thread and
the reaction was negative for a variety of very valid reasons.  I think
the PowerPC chip would be the least-cost viable alternative.

I'm way out of my element on questions like this though.

Regards,
Andy
