I have suggested to him that it might be easier to
work under an
existing mini/mainframe emulator, such as SimH or maybe even
MESS/MAME, but he is highly resistant to this idea, for reasons I do
not really understand.
I'm interested in opinions: do folk think that it would help, or not?
I fully understand. Not everything is easily tweaked to fit into those
frameworks. When I wrote my two minicomputer emulators I couldn't see
how on earth I could get that working inside simh without increasing
the work needed ten or fifty times. There wasn't anything there that
would help me for what I had in mind.
