After translating "odo10" to "pdp10" the above question makes some 
sense, but is clearly not related to the subject of this thread.

In any case, adding any magical (never actually designed) hardware to 
a simulator may or may not be hard.  The real issue is that the simulated 
system will have no software that ever existed to leverage the magically
instantiated hardware.  What purpose would it serve?
