What emulations have you heard of under Linux.
I think I heard about a copy of Bob Suptnik's PDP-11...

I've done a little fooling around with simh under Linux. The PDP-11
seems to be pretty stable, and the VAX emulator is getting there.
IIRC, Charon has a Linux beta, but I haven't tried it.

complaints with it, except for a lack of support for a network
interface.

The last time I tried the VAX emulator it pegged the CPU and left it
at 100% on a 1.6GHz Athlon. To me, that means it ain't there yet.

I find the VAX
emulation in the latest simh to be pretty stable.
The VAX emulation in the latest ts10 is also pretty stable, and
has network support.
VERY cool. Where is this wondrous creature?

There is also a commercial version of Ersatz-11 for Linux.

With the recent release of Ersatz-11 V3.1, there is now a demo
version for Linux as well. And the limits on the demo versions
have been relaxed a bit. It's quite usable for hobby purposes.

SIMH is very good, but E11 is a truly industrial-strength PDP-11
simulator. Of course, SIMH also simulates a lot of systems other
than just PDP-11s, from DEC and from other manufacturers.

Have any of you played with UAE (amiga emulator) under Linux? Just
wondering if it is worth the hassles.

Yes, and yes. I pretty much stumble around in AmigaOS, but if you
have a ROM image, it's stable and very configurable. I, of course,
mostly use it to play games. Sound works well, and I understand serial
networking does too.

UAE is pretty much complete,with some forms of networking (I've used serial
to an A500, but some people use TCPIP) and high colour (Picasso96) support.
I've even had to use it in anger (converting a couple hundred IFF's to a PC
format).
Bye,
Deano

New subject: Cosmac 50-pin connector question
There's a 50 pin connector on the back of my Cosmac Development System, using a
17-16-17 layout. Does anyone know if this is an MFM drive connector?
