You already have a pseudo VAXstation with "off the shelf" tools
You only need
- Simh
- an X11 emulator (Xming or Cygwin in the Windows world)
That's it. You can even have Simh AND X11 running on the same machine
With a brand new PC, you will outperform any VAXstation (Except perhaps the 
VAXstation 8000)
Runnig a VAXstation on a laptop is great

Objet : [Simh] Emulated Graphics card?

The recent discussion about a GUI for Simh triggered another thought. The 
current Simh emulator does not have emulation for graphic cards (as far as I am 
aware). I would really love to have a simulated VAXstation. Is anyone working 
on something like this? As an idea for platform independent graphics output... 
could such an emulated graphics card output to VNC? That would allow using it 
on any platform that Simh can be compiled on (I want to run it on MaxOSX, 
others on Linux etc). Just connect with a VNC viewer. Virtual display size/bit 
depth could be specified in the settings file for Simh

Just some random thoughts... and a VAXstation would really be great
