(from usenet) PDP-11 emulator available

Bob's emulator is quite good, but a drawback is that it doesn't have MSCP emulation or Ethernet emulation. E11 (Ersatz-11) has both. I believe that Viking does as well. I don't know about Charon... Me? 10 Support? No... I'm simply working on trying to get my KS10 operational, while working off and on on a pdp-10 emulator, using Bob's package as a base. I have been working toward a KA10 emulator with conditionals (where I understand things enough) to do the right thing for a pdp-6 or a KI, and for those instructions I have done, I'm getting almost 600k emulated instructions per second (eips?). But I don't have the PI system working at all, and there are some issues about instruction processing I don't have down yet... Daniel Seagraves is working on a KL emulator, and actually has some code running, it appears (at least he has tried to boot ITS and it has done a little of the boot process). There are some other efforts around the net to produce various -10 emulations... I'm also in the process of getting all the software I do have for the 10, currently on tapes, off to other storage with the help of Tim Shoppa (actually, I'm just supplying him with tapes, and he's doing the work... :-) Most recent mail from him indicates we appear to have almost a complete 7.03 distribution, parts of the 7.03A patchs and working on a 7.04 distribution. But as for 'supporting' this stuff... I was an okay -10 programmer in college... I mostly did -11 stuff. I'll never be anywhere near the level of the -10 gurus who wrote this code... so I would not presume to 'support' it. Isn't XKL doing -10 support?
