Speaking of SIMH on Android, and specifically SIMH/VAX on Android, did
you come across any good writeups along the way? Like many folks here,
I'm comfortable with the VAX and VMS end of things, but the most I've
done with my ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco 1) is root it and update
to Android 2.2, and although I get by on Linux, Android isn't the
same, so an Android-centric SIMH writeup would be helpful.
