It is possible to use systemd to spawn the simulator directly-attached to a getty, as would be useful with a serial terminal when no security is wanted. This mailing list post outlines the idea:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pidp-8/XQyKu7zSSVA/u6JqzMcaAgAJ
Rather than launch `pidp8i` to attach to the simulator already run in the background by a different systemd unit file, we should simply provide an alternate unit that launched the simulator directly, attached to the getty as shown.
We might have to defeat Raspbian's current autologin mechanism and serial console feature to make this work.
