Exactly. I've seen exactly this happen, by people who should know
better. "Just run an emulator!" they say...well no, I'm interested
in the hardware.
Do I use emulators? Sure I do. I can boot upwards of a dozen
different OSs for nearly as many architectures in seconds, right here
at my desk. But the real focus of my interest is hardware...which is
why I'm buying a bigger house. ;)

What's
with the "dangerous"?? If you have an old
unit, and would like to see it operational for years
to come, what's the problem with using such
replacements (if available)?
And frankly what's wrong with an emulation? If it
works, fulfills a need, what's the problem?
The danger is that the real hardware is then trashed.
