Much to my delight, an emulator which will
function as several
different CDC mainframes exists! However, upon further
investigation, this software costs US $12,500.00 for single CPU
copy. CRIPES! The university I attended GAVE AWAY the 6500 I used
to use.
When I saw that, I started writing a CDC 6x00 simulator in Java, and
got to the point of running simple test programs on the PPUs and the
CPU, but not to the point of booting an OS.
Then I found out that the earlier releases of that commercial
simulator were published under an open source license, and are still
available, though relatively hard to locate.
