reasonably move his stable 30 y/o applications to later/other OS's.
I would appreciate knowing what the listers use to accomplish same.

I would recommend running the E11 PDP-11 emulator on a laptop.
Though based on what you describe, I think SIMH could work just as
well. Honestly I'd recommend moving it over to an emulator anyway if
he's running his business off of it. It's one thing for those of us
here to run PDP-11 hardware of that vintage as a hobby, it's another
thing to depend on it for your livelihood. What type of drives is he
using?
The following webpage desperately needs updated, but should point you
in the right direction.
