> I'm gathering the resources necessary to build an emulator
> for the CDC 6000 Series, Cyber 70 Series, and Cyber 170
> Series mainframes. I'll be pulling together existing
> works-in-progress and using Bob Supnik's SIMH as a framework.

> The fruits of this labor will be freely available to any
> and all, as with the DEC emulators. As to the CDC-owned
> software, efforts are underway which are hoped will lead
> to a hobbyist license, a la DEC's.

> I have a good start on the manuals I need (kept some from
> years ago, will acquire others). Additionally, I've sent
> two of my four old CDC 9-track tapes to be read and placed
> on CD-ROM as images.

> If any of you (whom I have not already been in contact with)
> have any printed source listings, coredumps, or best of all,
> 9- or 7-track tapes containing operating systems (the CDCs
> used a deadstart tape and a system library tape), would you
> be willing to have the tapes imaged-to-disk, and make the
> images available to this project?

You should eventualy talk to John Zabolitzky (He is off list
at the moment) at Jgzabol_at_aol.com - If there is something
to know about Cyber mainframes, he does.
