The RTX-2000 was space qualified if I'm not confusing it with something
else, so I'd expect it to be documented out the wazoo.  Maybe it's a
matter of finding some manuals for it and working from those.  If it
were me, I'd start with a software emulation.  Ymmv.

Why is the RTX-2000 interesting anyway?  Do people have old code they
want to run on it?  Do they want to write new code for a stack processor
just because it's cool?  If the latter, exact compatibility with the
RTX-2000 isn't as important.  For that matter, there's always the J1.
