I've taken a quick look at this:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp9800e/

...and it seems quite impressive.  I spent only a little time working with 
it, but it appears to emulate the hardware and execute code dumps of the 
actual 9800-series ROMs.  Most of the option ROMs are included, as are a 
number of peripherals.  Worth a look.
