Consider a hard drive if you expect a non-trivial disk I/O load - SD

<div>If you're just starting off with a pi, it might be easiest to
buy a kit, which includes all the necessary parts to get
started, including power supply, case, heat sinks, HDMI cable,
and a SIM card preloaded with an os. Available on Amazon, and
many others. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Get a 32 or larger card if you want to set up a lot of
drives. And the pi3 is powerful enough for a lot of other games
and stuff. Full Linux environment available, including
compi,are, web browsers,, ...Fun toy.</div>

<div>If you don't have hdmi display available, get a HDMI to vga
converter. Also a usb keyboard and mouse.</div>

<div>Subject: [Simh] MicroSD Card for SimH on Raspberry Pi 3 </div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have just gotten into SimH and am planning on getting a
Raspberry Pi 3 for my SimH usage, just to not use up a lot of
space on my laptop. What is a good MicroSD card for the Pi 3
and SimH? Or does it not really matter as long as it works
fine in the Pi 3 on its own and has capacity for what I want
to do?</div>
