[Simh] Oddball platform as SIMH/pdp11 host

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
These boards run internally Yocto Pokey (and its descendants) Linux.
However I experimented with an IOT build of Windows on the Gen 1
before confirming that it ran best via Linux. Exposing ports, read
having eight of the digital ones after the serial port, can come
later.
