This makes a lot more sense, some of these microcode
emulations were still available of fairly late machines.
Also, it probably would not be real hard to write a decent
emulator for the 7074 and run it on modern hardware. Once
you are using emulation, why not keep the host hardware current?
Too bad the excerpts from the original talk are totally
scrambled.
