What are the requirements on the PC ?

Stomasys will have it's own PC as an option.   The goal here is to minimize configurations in the beginning.   This will probably change as requirements/performance goes up.  Currently a core i7 chip is required, because the emulator utilizes the SSE4 instruction set.


Would a 928 on MPE 7.0 or a 969/120 on MPE 7.5 be good candidates ?

It certainly will be considered.


Is the architecture compiler agnostic: BASIC, COBOL, FORTRAN, SPL, etc ?

Well in theory, you could compile on the emulator and move the object code to a real HP3000.   :-)

I've written 99% of the software here, mostly in BASIC (I know, Wirt would be proud.)
Has there been any testing with Apache and CGI's or SAMBA ?

Sorry no, I have not test Apache or Samba due to some current limitations.

How are printers addressed ?

In theory, printers should work just like today,  1) through the DTC and 2) through network printing.
