Well OBVIOUSLY Petey P. Eleven is still alive and well! You guys are TALKING on comp.os.rsts, a PDP forum, remember?!? Ok, so much for shouting... anyone have a good Pete simulator? I'm talking CPU, disk controller, front panel, everything. Seems like the venerable 11/70 could easily be emulated on a SPARCStation. Why not cobble up an X-based front panel, even? It would make a great teaching tool, and could lead to very interesting conversations.. "Hello, DEC? Yes, I need RSTS 11 on QIC 150 for my SPARCStation, please... No, disk packs won't do... No, sorry, no DECTAPE reader... Hello, ATT? Can I still get V7?" -- David Neal - Unix Contractor at large -- dan@chemsh.uucp - (800) 486-3972 DEC: First we swore at Unix(TM), now we swear by it.

Why not cobble up an X-based front panel, even? Yes, yes. A good PDP-11 simulator would be a great touch for my Amiga 3000! Wouldn't have to be anything spectacular... an LSI-11/23 would be plenty. I could benchmark it against a friend's *real* LSI-11. -- Peter da Silva; Ferranti International Controls Corporation; +1 713 274 5180; Sugar Land, TX 77487-5012; `-_-' "Have you hugged your wolf, today?"
