"Old PC" emulation ?

Hi, While reading up on my old Minix stuff (I found a box full of my old Minix backup floppies a couple of weeks ago), I tried to install them onto a PC I, um, borrowed from my customer (I was in Oslo for the week, and was bored at nights ;-) but that would not install. Obviously, old system software does not necessarily have to run on the new, current (PC) systems. Which led me to consider the impact of this on being able to run the older PC software anytime in the future. Can one still install a QNX box, or a Minix box, or an OS/2 system? So.. what it boils down to is: is there any (serious) project on doing a "old pc systems" emulation a la SimH, which does, for example, a pure IBM PC, PC/XT or PC/AT ? Just some random thoughts...
