That would be an exercise for someone with sufficient interest.  That would not be me.

Meanwhile, given the particularly low demand for this, I might not be interested in merging changes necessary to get that working…

Might it run in a DOS environment if built with DJGPP?  That's, pretty much, a 32 bit environment where code written for plain 32 bit Unixes is generally happy.  It still exists.  That runs on Win 98, of course.  And raw DOS.

As far as I know, no version of simh will run on any base 16bit OS.

The furthest back I’ve tried to support is XP.  Current binaries will run there.

Meanwhile, you might want to ask a different question:

                Will simh run on Android?

That answer is yes.  Several folks have achieved this.  A few years back
the normal makefile would work for some version of the Android cross
development environment.  I haven’t tried lately.

There is a very old version of simh (3.02) available on the Google Play store.

Iwindows  was wondering what is the newest version of SIMH that will run on Windows 98SE? I am trying an emulator on my phone and Win98 is the newest version of Windows that will run well.

Thanks
