[Simh] Eclipse

For the few (any) users of the Eclipse, a serious bug introduced back in 
2005(!) was fixed today. DIVS was testing AC0 instead of AC2 for the 
divide by zero condition and producing spurious errors. As a result, AOS 
hasn't worked for a decade.

It's now running again. See the GitHub issue list #200. The fix is the 
same for 4.x and 3.9.x.

Speaking of DG, I think it's getting to be time to circle back and look 
at the MV8000. While higher-level documents are available, the 
nitty-gritty design documents are lacking, and so is an online set of 
AOS/32 manuals. So if you've been sitting on a stash of DG material, now 
would be a good time to bring it into the light...
