I think you're right. Like I said above, I think Simh can already do the 11/53 CPU, the DEQNA, and the CXY08. I don't think Simh could do any other type of line card when I last checked but who cares. So with a little Simh configuration, a MOP server and software, and the DS500 ROM it might just almost work. But I believe Tim's original message said he couldn't get the ROM loaded.
