>Anyone been using it heavily? Sounds too good to be true
>From what I've heard it's pretty good. Unfortunatly the Hobbyist version
(which I think is currently unavailable) doesn't support ethernet, so it's
pretty much worthless from my point of view, and they want a LOT more than
an actual VAX would cost you for a version that does. It's from the same
company that's done a commercial PDP-11 emulator for several years.
Timothy Stark, the guy that's done the ts10 emulator (first publically
available KS10 emulator that was actually able to boot TOPS-10) is working
on adding VAX-11/780 support to his emulator. Though he's spending most of
his time working on the PDP-10 side of it. IIRC, there is also work
underway to add VAX emulation to simh (which now has excellent KS10
emulation).
