Jim,

although I have written SXSim, and made it available for free to the public domain, I must admit that the best and fastest SX simulator is the SX itself, together with an SX-Key, and the SX-Key IDE software.

I understand that you are looking for some hardware simulation software that allows to simulate an SX connected to "virtual" external components. I have several simulation programs available here, like the Electronics Workbench. None of these can simulate such a complex device like the SX, and I must admit that I'm not very happy with such kind of simulators at all. Maybe, this is because I started working with electronics long before PCs and simulation software was available. So I still prefer the "breadbording" approach, i.e. I like building a "real" prototype, and to test it using "real" equipement, like an o-scope, or a multi-meter. The nice thing with the SX is that in most applications, external hardware can be reduced to just a few components, and all the logic is done inside the SX, software-controlled.

I personally know at least one guy who can type working SX assembly code faster than you and I can type the text for a forum message, so this guy thinks the SX-Debugger is for wimps only. Maybe, he is right, but I must admit that I still belong to the "wimpy" group of SX Debugger users :-) .
