One option would be HP's ski emulator: 

http://ski.sourceforge.net/


Another would be to look for something like an HP zx2000 on eBay. A 
quick search for 'zx2000' there turned up a few of them for around $500 
each. They're old and a touch slow, but they work -- I've got one here 
in my cube, runs rhel4, rhel5 and fedora just fine, should run any other 
ia64 distro too.
