Can I? How? I can think of 2 major problems

1) For me, invenstigating a machine involves taking it to bits, seeing 
what all the parts do, putitng some of it back together, probing around 
with a 'scope and logic analyser, and so on. I doubt the simualtor can do 
that.

2) What would I run it on? The most logical machine for me to use would 
be the PERQ, on the groundis it does at least have a bitmapped monochrome 
display. But I doubt the emualtor runs on that.
