That's exactly what I do with E11 (hobbyist

CD \E11V31
E11
so it boots straight into the PDP OS and from the terminal you can't
really tell it's running on an emulator as you never see DOS.
To the people who want a bootable system?
Why don't you get one of the 'floppy' linux systems and build simh
to run from that.
I run simh/Linux on another machine....(and I have a Micro 11/73...)
The 486/E11 combo makes a convincing demo to show people what 1970s
computing looked like to a user, that's what I intended it for.
The computer is tucked out of sight. Actually it's on the other side
of the room - I didn't want to hide the blinkenlites :-)
