You're talking about simulating a realtime application, and that would require exceptionally precise timing from the host to match the original hardware. I'm not saying that it can't be done but I wouldn't expect to be able to just put the code into SIMH, build an interface board out of a Raspberry Pi or whatever, and plug it into the mechanical controls. Also FWIW Wikipedia says that it was an H416, but I'm not familiar with that model line at all so I have no idea what the difference between that and an H316 would be. -Henry
