[Simh] Eclipse

[Stephen Merrony]

Strange, I've been running mapped RDOS on the Eclipse simulator on and 
off over the past few years and it never (to my knowledge) tickled that bug.

I would love to help in any way possible with work on an MV-series 
simulator.  It might be worth thinking about doing the MV/10000 first as 
I recall that it was often said that the MV/10000 was the 'Eagle [i.e. 
MV/8000] done right'.  Also, the microprogamming manual is available for 
that machine.

I have been collecting what little information on the MV series is 
publicly available and putting it on a little website 
http://stephenmerrony.co.uk/dg/ - I'll be expanding that and moving to a 
better, wiki-based setup soon.

Also, I now have a running MV/2500DC with AOS/VS installed :-)
