Subject: [Simh] Burroughs B5500 simulator.

Hello All,

I have just finished off a simulator for the Burroughs B5500 system. It
currently supports 1 or 2 CPU's, up to 20 disk units, or 10 with DFX
support, Drums, 1 or 2 Card readers, 1 Punch, 1 or 2 Line printers, and
up to 8 terminal lines (more can be added). The simulator runs either
MCP XIII or MCP XV (including CANDE). I have not tested it with the
latest version of the simH from the Git hub. However it should work
just fine. 

I will give it a test with the latest version over the next couple of
weeks. The simulator also includes the start of a generic Card
reader/punch modules. Feedback on this would be helpful, perhaps it can
be integrated into the main distribution. Once I finish off support
for handling EBCDIC cards. 

While I am fixing bugs that are reported I will see if I can finish off
my KA10/KI10 simulator. If anyone is interested in helping me write a
Dectape controller for the 10, please contact me.

If there is interest I can put the simulator on the github to make it
part of the main distribution. 

Rich
