As lead programmer and initiator of the ES40 Emulator Project, I'll try to strain my self to write something that resembles an impartial review.

The ES40 Emulator attempts to emulate a DEC/Compaq/HP AlphaServer ES40. My main interest in this is running current OpenVMS Alpha software on my humble laptop.

The project aims to be very portable, and the Emulator is indeed reportedly running on various platforms and operating systems, including Windows, Linux, OpenVMS/Alpha, OpenVMS/Itanium, BSD, Sun Solaris and Apple's OS X.

OpenVMS runs reasonably on the emulator, meaning that it's quite slow, but most features work. Other operating systems seem to have more trouble to adapt to our emulated machine. The emulator is by no means production-ready yet, but it's an interesting project to work on.

Once we have managed to get performance where it should be, and OpenVMS to work completely, this will be a wonderful multi-cpu emulator.
