Interesting. Looking (very quickly) at the
Z-machine spec, it seems
fairly simple. This gives me a good excuse to start on my PDP-8
emulator again - at least that way if I need more core, I just need to
change a #define instead of starting a big long thread about
semiconductor memory ;-)
Oddly I think the world has more than ample simple PDP-8 emulators.
SimH is the only one I trust to have most of the 'bugs' and
'un-documented'
features of a real machine.
