[Simh] CDC6600

[Bob Supnik]

I saw one of the first CDC 6600's being debugged by CDC technicians at 
the Courant Institute at New York University in the 60s.  It was an 
amazing sight: they were measuring signal delays and shapes with scopes 
and then cutting cables differently to modify what they were seeing.  
Needless to say, it took a VERY long time to get the system running.

I hadn't realized that DTCyber was a paid product.  Given what a real 
6600 must cost to run, the license for DTCyber has to be inexpensive by 
comparison.  The lack of a hobbyist program from the software licensor 
makes a freeware simulator not very interesting, at least to me.  This 
also limits the appeal of trying to simulate the DG Eclipse lines, both 
16b and 32b, as another example.
