       It sounds like getting a hack working in simh might not be too
       hard, but to get it integrated back in they probably want something
       robust.  Perhaps having 1ed around will give someone the motivation
       to get dc11 support in simh?
-    - I thought "as" wouldn't work, but it seems to be trying to run

     - we should investigate the original boot process and see how
       much of it would be possible to restore and determine if its
       worth the effort.
     - there's a bunch of file fragments in the 1972_stuff that might

       how to triage these.  This might be a bit of effort.
