I would add: unless you have a very strange situation (which is unlikely with a Philips
machine), SIMH is the foundation to use. There are other simulators out there built on
other foundations, and they work fine. But SIMH has an excellent structure and takes care
of a whole lot of work, allowing you to concentrate on the actual technical substance of
emulating a specific machine.

whats invovled in makin an emulator?
i have a chunk of stuff for the phillips p1000
I would say it depends a lot on how complex your target machine is. But
in essense you will have to write code for each device you wish to
emulate mapping their functionality over to your host machine, the one
running the emulator.
As a minimum you will write code for the CPU and some sort of output
device, such as a serial console.
