I hope no one minds my choice of forum to discuss this...
It'd be nice to hear what emulators (if any) people use to avoid wear and tear on the equipment. As for myself, I use yaze for CP/M emulation and it works surprisingly well. Running it on my Linux box I can develop software which I then download to my Microbee to run "for real". Since Yaze lack any peculiar hardware it runs most software you can find for CP/M as long as you figure out how to get the screen/terminal settings correct.
I also use the klh10 and simh PDP-10 emulator. The simh emulator is also available for several other vintage machines, such as PDP-8, PDP-11 as well as Altair-8800 (available in both 808 and Z80 versions)
Are there any other favourite emulators?

yaze: Several versions, the one I use is from http://www.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/users/ag/yaze-ag/
klh10: http://klh10.trailing-edge.com/ (you might need to sign/email a license agreement in order to use the TOPS-10/TOPS-20 distributions)
Amiga: http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/ (ROM files need to be bought or provided from original)
