I recently got a plug-in for my computer that does the Hammond/Leslie thing. It is the Native Instruments B4 II plug-in. You know what? It sounds pretty darn good for what it is. Even the Leslie simulations sounds pretty good. I never thought I would ever admit that one. It has a number of neat parameters that can be adjusted. It even has a tonewheel cross-talk adjustment so you can get that harmonic noise going if you want. It has tone controls, selections for a number of different Leslie models, key-click and velocity adjustments, a balance control for adjusting the balance between the mikes on the upper and lower rotors, spring or studio reverb types as well as a number of other reverb parameters, a boat-load of pre-sets, and a host of other options.</p>
Here is a short little ditty I did just so I could let everyone hear how it sounds. I hope this works. </p>

No, this is not an advertisement. I was impressed with how well this worked so I thought I would pass it along. Please excuse the sloppy technique. I had to practice this for a long time just to get it this good.</p>
Now that they have a MIDI-ized Hammond that doesn't sound too bad someone needs to invent a candle that smells like hot tubes and Hammond oil. :þ
