When timesharing was a new thing, people tended to create software for virtual machines of all sizes.Are there any simple Virtual designs for 32 bits that could easly implimented with a 2901 cpu? After the IBM PC, I suspect all this stuff was mostly forgotten, lost from the public eyes.

Any Turing-complete machine - with enough memory! - can emulate any other computer.
Not necessarily at full speed, of course.

For example, it's possible to run normal 32-bit Linux on an 8-bit microcontroller:
