I put an entire Macintosh Quadra with Mac OS 8.1 into an Electron app, together with a bunch of apps and games. It runs on... JavaScript.
This is a toy, but you can transfer files in and out, mount disk images, and time-travel back to the 90ies.

So basically it's ancient Mac as a VM, cute ... what you need is a little handheld thing that holds a PC and 16 bit screen that can move between this, DOS and OS2/WARP, and maybe heck Some linux like Lubuntu or something
