I don?t know Dave, I never thought I?d see the day when I?d be using emulation as my
primary platform, but I am for both VAX and PDP-11 now. I?m even looking into moving my
Compaq XP1000/667 over to an emulator. Most of the data and some of the applications are
now on my VAXcluster, which makes good backups easier. PDXVAX is still a VAXstation 4000,
but will be moving to SIMH soon. That would have happened this weekend most likely,
except my internet is down, so I can?t get the OS for the host system.

But yes, there is no point in simulating a star coupler, since it's just
a passive device anyhow. And HSC emulation only needs to talk the CI
protocol and act as (T)MSCP server side. No point, or need, to emulate
an actual HSC and run CRONIC on it.
About as much point as running VMS under emulation. I have real HSCs
here connecting real hardware, but I'd surely run an emulated HSC
connecting emulated hardware if it were available. I'd even be quite
excited about it.
