Why is this relevant to Windows only? SIMH is the pretty much the same code

Both E11 and SIMH support these hardware devices.
However, if your
friend is using disk drives which are non-standard from DEC hardware,
then all bets are off.
Nearly all third-party controllers for DEC systems emulated DEC
controllers, so this is not likely to be a problem.
The other area of concern is the terminal
interface. E11 offers
support for VT100 emulation built into the emulator. SIMH does not.
Once again, this only comes into play if you're using Windows. On no
other platform is this even relevant.
