There are settings to change some aspects of the host software visible CPU
type. I tried a few different settings but could never get RSTS/E to
install. I probably have some notes saved away somewhere with details,
although it might be quicker to set up the system again for experiments
than it would be to find my notes.
That would definitely be interesting. RSTS is pretty good about issuing error messages
when it sees something it doesn't like. That assumes it doesn't simply crash in
the OS due to an assumption that's violated by the QED. But even then, a crash dump
would give clues. Worst case it will require some code reading to see what the code is
expecting vs. what it actually gets.
