Hmmm, don't know about the PDPs, but there aren't a lot of working 1130's
about.  ibm1130.org has one, along with cards, disk cartridges, docs, &etc.
They also have a simulator that permits you to run R2 V12!  Brings back
memories...  Too bad they can't find the EMU-Fortran.

As for a cluster of 1130 simulators; IIRC, the only networking they had
was in support of the RJE station. Perhaps you could run an EP code with
a 360 as the headnode :p
