The answer is different for each machine. There are emulators for some of the older machines. See http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ and http://simh.trailing-edge.com/links.html for some. Here's an HP-2000 emulator: 1. Telnet to mickey.publicvm.com (yes, telnet) 2. Slowly alternate CTL-J and CTL-M until you see a “PLEASE LOG IN” message. 3. Enter “HEL-T001,HP2000,1″ . The resulting output includes: Try exe-castle.b300, exe-kingdm.g100, exe-spawar.r500
