   Tony-

 I'm running SIMH on a 233MHz Pentium-1 with rather good response. At  
 I stand by my statement. I don;t have a Pentium 1, I don't have any sort 
 of Pentium, and I don't have anything with a 233MHz master clock. 
This, then, by choice, I take it?

   least, TOPS-10
seems as fast as it was at university loaded with
 students...  
 Hmm... I think I'd rather have a go at making a real 
 PDP10.... That could be an 'interesting' project.... 
I'm not sure what would qualify as "real" to you... would it
have to be a machine built from the original schematic prints?

Or would a re-implementation using modern devices (e.g. FPGA)
qualify as "real"...?
