 I might be able to dig up something, though I think the oldest laptop I
have laying around has a 486 chip in it, I'll have to see when I get

 I've never used it, but there's something called "QEMU-brake" that

 Assuming this is DOS or Windows software, and for a business, I've
heard of a program called "mo' slo" that might allow a newer computer to
