A related yet separate question is, are the vax ka655.bin and ka655x.bin
also workalikes, or legally released, or uncopyrighted? Those files had
to be removed from the Debian SIMH package because I was unable to generate
a convincing answer, one way or the other.
P.S. Writing on behalf of about a zillion users, thanks for your work
