We have the chips produced from earlier eras, but what attempts have

I've still got a copy of the first Orcad SDT--ran on a PC-XT (I think
it coiuld run on floppies) using CGA or Hercules. I've also got a
copy somewhere of an early PCB layout program that ran on an Atari
ST.
Did anyone salvage any of the very expensive hardware simulators of
the mid 80's? I'm having trouble thinking of the brand names...
