It's not an emulator, per se, but has anyone done a front end or a
preprocessor to pascal that would do Turbo Pascal 3?
I & the community have a number of good utilities in TP3. I know
it could be ported, but I guess the libs are the real stumbling block.
I'd entertain suggestions.....
There used to be a TP3 that ran on Xenix.....

Sound cards. That's what they are there for. Insignia's SoftPC even
makes PC floppy grinding sounds when it boots on Mac and SGI systems.
Guess these emulators are not in the ports collection:
nospam: {825} cd /usr/ports/emul*
nospam: {826} find . -type f -exec grep -il pdp "{}" \;
nospam: {827}

Thats it! Actually was thinking of AIM-65, but there was a KIM
something or another that I can't quite place.
Another Amusing Thing To Emulate would be Intel's ISIS-II OS. I still
have some interesting tools for a PDS-100, such as a PL/M-51 compiler.
May still have Intel Fortran-80 too. One problem might be reading the
Intel floppy disk format.
And aedit. Once upon a time, aedit was my favorite text editor. Had
a DOS version of aedit once.
