You already kind of know it and one can run a lot of languages on it. I'd agree about the 11/70, but only if you're running the kinds of applications found on the disk images that are out there. Otherwise over time you can make your own tapes/RL02/RK05.etc disk pack sets (or whatever) to emulate in. I have a Next Thing CHIP with as many SimH builds and images as I could find and test to set up, DEC included, so I can switch around at will. I have my a serial terminal for I/O. Certainly never get bored with that kind of setup. Bill
