Well OBVIOUSLY Petey P. Eleven is still alive and well!
You guys are TALKING on comp.os.rsts, a PDP forum, remember?!?

Ok, so much for shouting... anyone have a good Pete simulator?
I'm talking CPU, disk controller, front panel, everything.
Seems like the venerable 11/70 could easily be emulated 
on a SPARCStation. Why not cobble up an X-based front panel, even?

It would make a great teaching tool, and could lead to very
interesting conversations.. "Hello, DEC? Yes, I need RSTS 11
on QIC 150 for my SPARCStation, please... No, disk packs won't do...
No, sorry, no DECTAPE reader... Hello, ATT? Can I still get V7?"
