Why should the real hardware necessarily outperform it? With
processors getting faster and faster,
I wouldn't be surprised if an emulated hp2000 runs rings around the real h/w.
It's too bad the emulator doesn't have the blinky lights and the
presence of a real hp2k though.

Jay asked about benchmarks for SIMH running HP2000
Access,
Here's a quick chain test for doing 255 (+-) chains with timing for my
SIMH configuration as described (about 23 sec.) I would hope that
real hardware
would out perform it. If not I'll have to think about what could be wrong with
the simulator and come up with another test. Let me know what you
get, Jay, next
time you have her up.
Thanks again,
Mike.
