Well I am giving up on using my 20+-year-old hardware. I have made many attempts to install a 32-bit distro (debian, MX, Mint) but all failed -- in the case of Mint, there was kernel panic before it even got going. I did a 100% successful memtest but there must be other hardware problems. To the dump!
I have never tried any emulation. My own newest (9 year old) laptop has sufficient power but rather little space on its disk (even after deleting all those iso images I downloaded). Other machines I have access to are heavily used by people who need them (e.g. for their PhDs) and quite old too, so I would be nervous about using them. Without that, eclib will not get any 32-bit testing, unfortunately.
