[Linux-decnet-user] A strange idea worth considering and yes this for real

[Gregg C L. <dr...@wo...>]

Hello from Gregg C Levine
It's nice to see mail on this list, and subject, its been way to quiet
lately. However, a quick question, then: Has anyone worked with an emulator
for the PDP-11, called the Ersatz-11? Its made by an outfit called, D-Bit,
and they are based here in the state, their web site is http://www.dbit.com/
it happens that the owner of the product, a fellow by the name whose last
name is Wilson, states that his product will do nearly everything that the
original will do. He has up a collection of webpages up that give a healthy
explanation on the product. Since I believe the original ideas behind DECnet
surfaced on the PDP-11, (Someone will, and can correct me.), that emulator
would a perfect fit for testing ideas, when we have software but not
hardware for them. I now invite questions, criticism, and much of anything
else regarding this statement. Please note that I haven't had the chance to
even consider it, I have been too busy with other problems.
