[Simh] So far unnamed project

[Sampsa Laine]

I’d love a preconfigured TOPS-10/20 machine, especially if it has DECNET configured on it as well.

Same for RSX-11M+ (or any OS for PDP-11 that supports DCL).

Unix and Linux have become pretty standard nowadays, and its fun to see how things were done on older machines. This is to say nothing of ITS, a system I wish were easier to get going.

I have  only used "real" PCs and Macs, but through simulation and emulation I have grown to be enamored with many different types of old computers especially DECs.  I would love to spread my enthusiasm to the younger generation and I feel that Simh may be one of the ways to accomplish this. What I would like to do is package various simulators with pre-built configurations and documentation to show how these old machines work. I would like to ask all of you for advice and suggestions to help teach the younger generation how elegantly things used to be done.
