A Personal Milestone (Data General Emulation)

I hope hope you don't mind me sharing a little personal milestone: today 
my long-winded attempt at a Data General AOS/VS emulator ran an original 
third-party program successfully for the first time.

There are actually two closely-coupled emulators, one that attempts to 
emulate MV class hardware, and another that tries to provide a virtual 
AOS/VS environment.

Due to the frustrating lack of freely available documentation and 
software for these machines which ceased production in the mid-1990s, I 
am now focusing on the AOS/VS emulator.

Oh, the program that ran was OTHELLO, from the NADGUG (North American 
Data General User Group) games collection.  I lost the game :-/

If anyone is interested, the emulator status is here:
