The real mystery is what it's running on. ...
It's=20 probably a
simulator but I've never heard of one for the H6000.
Per:
https://multicians.org/multics.htmlhttps://multicians.org/multics.html
"Harry Reed and Charles Anthony reached a major milestone on the Multics
simulator on Saturday 08 November, 2014. Their SIMH-based simulator booted
Multics MR 12.5, came to operator command level, entered admin mode, created a
small PL/I program, compiled and executed it, and shut down. Release 1.0 of
the simulator is now available."

Hmmm. That's interesting. Back in the 70's I earned my living
working on H6000s (although not on Multics). I'm pretty sure that
no one would have bothered with a simulator if not for Multics so
that's another reason not to dismiss Multics as a failure:
someone, today, still cares enough to write a simulator just to
run it.
