In about 1974, for my senior undergraduate project, I wrote microcode
to convince a Varian V70 that it was actually an IBM 1130.
Being substantially more modern hardware, it was much faster than a
real 1130.
If anybody wants microcode and flow diagrams, and listings for the I/O
simulation (which ran in 620/f mode), I'm happy to send them.
