Much to my delight, an emulator which will function as

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.
