It seems to me today's 2GHz processors should be able to emulate a 3B (*3B
or not 3B, that is the question*) at a performance that far exceeds an
actual 3B. Is the instruction set definition and architecture of a 3B
available anywhere?
Just wondering. I did such emulations for 68K machines and Cray machines.

Hello All.
I have made a pre-installed disk image available with a fair amount
of software, see https://www.skeeve.com/3b1/.
Thanks for doing & making the disk images, was an easy start! Do you remember, ho to set up the system to have
four disk drives?
Cheers & thanks again!
I don't think it can support more than 2 drives. Certainly the emulator
cannot. I don't know about real hardware.
You can split a big drive into partitions when formatting with the
diagnostics disk, but I don't think that's what you're asking.
Sorry,
Arnold
