How many of us here are
running under emulation?
  
TARDIS is an emulated MicroVAX3900 (VMS)
SIDRAT will be another one, clustered with TARDIS.
JUDOON when i get DECnet working will be an Ultrix (emulated again)

I've never quite yet gotten around to setting up a HECnet connected emulator - maybe I have a psychological block, although the Raspberry Pi is almost there, it's more about finding it a home with suitable connectivity than any software related issues.

I've been interested in Matt's work on providing more platforms for SIMH in the VAX arena, including simulation of graphical displays, you can see his work to date here: http://www.9track.net/simh/video/#mono

Unfortunately this is currently windows-only, I'm not much for Windows as a server-hosting platform, so I'll have to wait patiently until he gets round to providing X support.

Does anyone run SIMH on Solaris? I've recently acquired a Sparcstation 5, and I guess it's the benchmark of a usable server-type platform for me to be able to run SIMH on it.

Regards, Mark.
