For me, the real machine is more important. An emulation is a poor
replacement (especially if it has to run under Microsoft-anything).
But with some hardware being in very short quantity, an emulator
can fulfill a need.
I'm in the process of working on a pdp-10 emulator, but that is
not to say that I would turn down real hardware... my only problem
right now is lack of space. I definitely could not handle a KA,
KI or KL... but a KS? Good possibiliy... the disks are another
problem, however.
