Surely you jest. The speed of CPUs has increased by three orders of magnitude since the days of the VAX-780. Measured nowadays in GHz not MHz. So it would take a lot of interpretive overhead to throw that away. As I recall, the 780 was about 0.5 MHz, and the run-of-the-mill netbooks are 1.6 GHz. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [email protected] _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
