I'm thinking of doing a little
write-up/summary on the
emulation/exploration of classic mainframe and minicomputer platforms
.... Apart from what I've
mentioned, is there anything else that's either available or "in the
pipeline" or have I got it all?

There are at least two emulations of the ICL 1900 series (the original
George 3 exec-level one by Dave Holdsworth and a newer "bare-metal"-level
one; the latter seems only to be available by request, the former is hard to
find - the easiest way is to look for the packaged version used to run
Algol68R). There may well be an ICL 2960 emulator under way from the group
who are restoring such a machine at Bletchley Park.
I'm astonished that there doesn't seem to be a Multics emulator (OK, the
hardware is the epitome of CISC, but it is one of the true classics).
There are also emulators for some of the first and second generation
machines (Manchester "Baby" for example, but, again regrettably, apparently
not the Ferranti Atlas)
