[Simh] Hardware Requirements

[Dave]

What about using a thin client such as a neoware box. These are available
for peanuts on e-bay (perhaps not in SE land, but cheap) and I am sure one
would run a cut-down Linux and SIMH from flash. e.g.

Despite what it says here they do have a small fan on board but are very
quiet

For a PDP-11 emulation, something as simple as an Atom processor would do
the job.  I would recommend a dual-core processor simply to provide better
overall performance.

Hi

I just joined the list, this is my first post :)

I was wondering, what are the hardware requirements of simh? What kind of
CPU would be necessary to emulate a PDP-15 at or over its real world speed?

The reason I'm asking is that I want to build a small system to interface
with PDP-15 panel. I'm looking at the beagleboard, but wouldn't mind
something simpler and/or cheaper.

Kind Regards,
Pontus.
