[Simh] Alpha emulator

[bsupnik at comcast.net]

There's a complete Alpha CPU emulator for SimH, and has been for some time.  It models an EV-56 at the hardware level and should be able to run PALcode/firmware images.

That said, there's no system behind it, and I don't have the time to write one.  Even the simplest EV-56 system (like the 500au workstation) requires emulation of the system glue chip, the PCI bus, various PCI peripherals, and possibly graphics: so as a minimum, the Pyxis chip, the ISP SCSI adapter, the 21040 Ethernet adapter, a graphics adapter, and the usual complement of PC cruft (keyboard, mouse, floppy, timers, etc).
