[Simh] Idea for a Simh guide

[jsteve at superglobalmegacorp.com]

I’m sure I can get something going with networking, I am the crazy person that made QuakeWorld & Quake II for MS-DOS possible… .(yes with netplay!).

I wonder if UMS-DOS is still a thing, and if it can be mounted over ISO-9660 … it’d be an interesting way to combine both MS-DOS and a Linux CD, as you are right, Linux does have far better networking support.

I’m also glad that SLiRP made the cut for the newer SIMH.

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.
