What's the SD card based TU58 emulator that a couple of people mentioned?
Is that just a Raspberry PI with linux and the existing TU58 emulator
software, or is there something more purpose built?
First hit on Google for 'TU58 Emulator' (no quotes) for me was :
http://www.torok.info/computing/pdp11/tu58/
Seems to be an arduino-based device using SD cards.
Incidentally, another reason I am not too keen on using an emulator is that I suspect
there could well be logic faults in the CPU and if I am not careful I will just have a
long
list of unsolved problems, whch can be somewhat disheartenng. I would rather find a
fault and fix it, then go on to the next one. Since I do want to use the real TU58 in the
end, I will have to get that working sometime and it might as well be now...
