[Simh] Rolm 1602

[Bob Supnik]

I'm fairly sure it existed. ADR (Applied Data Research) only wrote 
unusual MIMIC simulators when needed. IIRC, we did some sort of process 
control or analytical instrumentation project for Rolm & Haas itself, 
and they insisted the 1602 be used. The listing for that is probably in 
the attic too...
