How funny. The emulator Amir talk about was written during the 90's
to replace the original emulator I have used in the 80's which was
running on Berkley Unix (BSD-4.2 on a VAX)... that emulator probably
replaced (not sure) real PDP's used in the Technion during the 70's.

I would follow Shachar suggestion:

Instead of trying to run some half-baked Windows port of the emulator
under wine/dosemu/what's'not simply go to the *original* emulator.

On a last personal note, those who attended August Penguins III (2004)
may remember me demonstrating (in a lightning talk) an original Unix-V6
from the 70's running under this emulator on my Linux laptop --
The emulator I used was indeed SIMH.

Cheers,
