EaaSI User Handbook — EaaSI documentation is a framework for making emulators available.

 

Not sure how Medley would fit in, but it is an interesting perspective.

Hmm... This would be the place to have a Dolphin, Dorado, Dandelion, or Daybreak emulator, on which one could run the D-machine lisp microcode... for pre-Medley/maiko versions of Interlisp.   Unfortunately, we don't have emulators for any of that hardware.

I note that they do have an emulator for the Alto, known as Contralto.

Josh Dersi, the same person who created the ContrAlto emulator (for the Xerox Alto) that’s mentioned in the EaaSI documentation, has created a Dandelion emulator. I don’t know its exact status right now.

I meant Josh Dersh, but I see that Larry already provided a link to the Dandelion emulator.
