setting up my cell phone (an HTC Evo running Android) to emulate a
VAX by running SIMH.

And then using a VT125 for its console:

Enjoy the insanity!
So how does it compare speed wise to a MicroVAX II?
I haven't yet booted VMS on it, mostly because I seem to have misplaced
the root password for the VMS image I have on the phone. Once I fix
that little problem, I'll see what running
vups.com tells me.
One thing is for sure... the real phone is a whole lot faster than
running simh under the android emulator. The speed of that was
definitely less than 1 emulated VUP.
