Did anyone ever offer a Prime 50-series emulator
for SIMH? I've got
what appears to be a PRIMOS boot tape here. It might be interesting
to try to run it on an emulator.
The only Prime emulator that I can find so far seems to be a
telnet-sort of affair running on someone's server.
nope. Jim Wilcoxson did the work and never shared it with anyone.
There isn't quite enough information or interest for anyone else to
have bothered.
Primos is interesting because they maintained binary compatibility all
the way back to
when it was a Honeywell 516 clone.
