The Package of the Month award goes to: pkgsrc/emulators/simh, nominated by Jason Thorpe. simh can emulate the following machines: altair, altairz80, eclipse, gri, h316, hp2100, i1401, i1620, ibm1130, id16, id32, nova, pdp1, pdp4, pdp7, pdp8, pdp9, pdp10, pdp11, pdp15, s3, sds, vax. A useful package if you're fed up, like Jason, of carrying two Microvax 3800s around with you, since he now has two NetBSD/vax installations on his laptop, as simh-vax supports Ethernet.

It strikes me that we should be working out the simulation size ratios (i.e. size of simulated host to real host), and as I now have simh running on my Jornada, I'm feeling confident. Now for hermes...
