To elaborate a little on this (perhaps more knowledgeable Pr1me

understand his emulator was being sold commercially so I assume this

Did anyone ever offer a Prime 50-series emulator
for SIMH?
nope. Jim Wilcoxson did the work and never shared it with anyone. Primos is interesting because they maintained binary
compatibility all the
way back to
when it was a Honeywell 516 clone.
How intriguing! How good was the compatibility? has anyone tested
H316/516 software on Primos? This fellow has software from those
machines: http://www.series16.adrianwise.co.uk/emulator/index.html
