Even though I *do* own an MM/1, I'd still love to see an emulator. Sadly I 
haven't heard of one yet. Perhaps the user base was (is) too small for it to 
become a reality?

KRiBBS must have been shareware. I have a copy here (no source AFAIK). I 
don't remember where I got it, although it could have been John Donaldson.
