PCjs now refers to the project (the repository and website), while PCx86 refers to the IBM PC-based emulator. Previously, both were called PCjs.

PCx86 is now just one of several PCjs emulators:

  • C1Pjs
  • PC8080
  • PCx86

Ultimately, C1Pjs will become PC6502, and Challenger 1P machines will become a PC6502 machine type. And everything doesn't need to end with "js". It's 2016 now, and that naming convention seems a bit overdone.

As part of this change, all the "pc" folders within /disks, /devices, and /docs have become "pcx86" folders, to make it clearer that they're associated with the PCx86 emulator. I've added redirects for all the old "pc" URLs, but inevitably I'll probably discover the need for more redirects.
