Good
question, I seem to remember something about a CPU emulator, but
can't remember the details. Rich Alderson would be a good person
around here to talk to about it.

From
stackoverflow.net (someone was talking about porting/conversion
projects they
were involved in):
"Ported an 8080 simulator written in FORTRAN 77 from a DECSystem-10 running
TOPS-10 to an IBM 4381 mainframe running VM/CMS."
Interesting comment. I wonder if that's how Gates/Allen would have done it.
Rich
Most likely since that was how things were done at the time.
I do remember GE Tymshare (PDP-10s I think) in the mid to late 70s had
an 8080
Development system/simulator to test flying code on line for a mere
$25.00/hr
I know that as they also had the same for 8008 and I'd used that.
