That is pretty darned cool. I wish I had put up a web page when I
did something similar last year.
I have an HP iPaq 3765 (MIPS-based PDA) onto which I installed
Linux. I built simh for ARM under Linux on a QEMU-based emulator,
and moved the binaries over to the iPaq. Last autumn, I sat on a
lounge chair on a cruise ship in the Caribbean hacking RSTS/E with a
margarita. That was as close to "heaven" as exists for me on Earth. :-)
If anyone wants to try something similar, last year I put the simh
ARM binaries on my webserver for download at:
http://www.neurotica.com/misc/simh-arm-bin.tar.gz
It is an older release of simh (whatever was current last autumn)
but it works nicely.
