We used Moto's 88k simulator for awhile, but ended up abandoning it and
writing our own so as to get good execution speed.  It runs 88k code at
about 0.2 MIPS on a 20MHz 68020-based system.  The front-end is the dbx
debugger.  We used it to get our diagnostics, kernel, and init and
single-user shell up.

Details are in an upcoming Usenix paper by Rob Bedichek.  Source code
is available gratis to any member of the 88open Consortium who has a
Berkeley source license.
