you're right, Ethan. Playing with a real 36bit
Machine would be a good
pleasure. Personally, I never had the chance to work on one - except
virtual ones. It'd be great to see one in action - live, but as far as I
found out nothing survived here in Austria (correct me if I am wrong).
You can always play on our Tops-10 and TOPS-20 systems, which are
assuredly very real hardware. Just use the "Request a Login" button on

I'll vouch for the fact that this is pretty cool; I set up accounts on the TOPS-10 and
-20 systems a few years ago, and the VAX-11/785 about a month ago. Really neat stuff!
Lots more exciting than playing with SIMH, though that's fun in its own right.

The best thing is that you don't have to figure out where to get tape
images, how to setup SIMH, etc.
You just telnet and *bang* you're in the environment.
