Yeah, but it's not the real thing, Jochen. The 180 runs essentially
6600 emulation with very different timings . DIfferent peripherals
and hardware implementation; the experience just isn't the same. One
might as well run an emulator on a PC.
Running a 6600 "every Saturday" would have been an insane
proposition, given the the effort it took to get the thing powered
up.
Thanks,

since it's
rather hard to find a running CDC 6600 system today
If you don't know it
already: http://www.cray-cyber.org/
They run a CDC 6600 compatible Cyber 180/960-31 every saturday.
