[Simh] Idea for a Simh guide

[Ken Cornetet]

While you could probably get simh running using djgpp and MSDOS, you'd play hell trying to get networking. In theory, it would be possible to graft NDIS support into simh, but there probably aren't many modern NICs with real mode NDIS drivers.

I think you'd be better off building a simh "appliance" around a small linux distro.

Another option would be DJGPP, which has the advantage of being GCC so SIMH should be comfortable with it.  I've used it in the past for Unix-origin programs with good success.
