Indeedy. Our air conditioning plant was designed to cool one DECsystem-10
and it has been modified a couple of times as we replaced it with only five
or six largish VAXes and the cold deck kept freezing (even on 40C summer
days)...
Simulation may not be as exciting, but it certainly is
more practical.
And besides, a simulated PDP-10 on a Pentium 2 is much faster than a real
PDP-10 :-)
I guess this is a copy of the unobtainable -10 simulator? How does it model
disks etc?
