Is this the same software Curious Marc is using to emulate a DSKY/AGC for their apollo comms project? Or are they using something custom spun up to support the hardware they are working on?

"Mike Stewart has developed gate accurate FPGA replicas of the AGC and its test hardware. It represents a massive amount of work. If you are Mike, you can use it to fly the real missions, and simulate every signal in the AGC. Making this work is not for the faint or heart and requires intimate understanding of the AGC hardware and software. We offer no instructions and no support."
Why is the VM for this 10Gb?
