When I started reading about the 7090 (oh no! I brought the subject
back to it's original context!), I was thinking of adding a 3D machine
room simulation graphics front end to the existing 7090 SIMH
implementation. You would navigate the machine room and load tapes,
card decks, etc., and watch your output print on the printer. Adding
HVAC, etc., noises wouldn't be hard either. Unfortunately I don't
have the time to code this... it's going on my list of google summer
of code projects ocne I get 501(c)3 status.
