I have no access to anything internally from DEC (except for what's on 
bitsavers).

I haven't planned to emulate some existing computer either, there are 
quite much stuff around that also must be implemented in that case.  I 
have just written the CPU :-)  Currently it has the SID of CVAX.

...but I may have to do something so that the rest of the test programs 
can run.  Haven't decided what yet though.
