How funny. The emulator Amir talk about was written during the 90's to replace the original emulator I have used in the 80's which was running on Berkley Unix (BSD-4.2 on a VAX)... that emulator probably replaced (not sure) real PDP's used in the Technion during the 70's. I would follow Shachar suggestion: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMH Instead of trying to run some half-baked Windows port of the emulator under wine/dosemu/what's'not simply go to the *original* emulator. On a last personal note, those who attended August Penguins III (2004) may remember me demonstrating (in a lightning talk) an original Unix-V6 from the 70's running under this emulator on my Linux laptop -- The emulator I used was indeed SIMH.
