We have that on the PiDP-8/I already:

You don't have to have the PiDP-8/I software. The software will build on
lots of different host OSes, and it will detect the lack of the front panel
and fall back to a more nearly pure SIMH mode, but with SPACEWAR and a lot
more included:

The software isn't quite as portable as SIMH itself, but you could at least
extract our disk images and SIMH configs.

What I was really hoping for in asking the question is some old science lab
experiments based on the A/D converters that we could replicate in
kitchen-table science fashion.
