Such a machine has probably never been built. However, .since MIX was designed to be a program for teaching, it seems that .someone should have built a simulator for this? According to the .Knuth's book, this has been done (in 1973). The obvious question is: .has a MIX simulator ever been created for the Mac? How about the IBM PC? You can get a pretty good simulation of MIX on a Burroughs 220 computer. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)
