I already have a nice setup with locally compiled pkgsrc binaries on our
in-house compile box and so on, so going to a VAX architecture for simh
would probably be a little more trouble than it would be worth, thanks
anyway ... :)

it does look nice though, and I'll certainly see if I can play with it
and see how it goes - one of my projects at Uni was simulating the 
CPU for a PDP-8 at the silicon level (using a tool called Magic), so
it would be interesting to see how that went ...

OK, maybe I really should have said I want to run NetBSD-i386 under a
virtual machine on a Windows-i386 PC, although the fact that I posted
this to port-i386 should have been a clue ... :)
