I know of a really good one at ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/sim
There is a simulator called sim_2_2 or somesuch that actually
works pretty well.  I have booted the UNIX V7 that also resides in
a subdir below there...  The simulator isn't very fast, but looking
at the code, it appears that it might be very complete.
