Do a "show cpu" at the "sim>" prompt and you should see something like: sim> show cpu CPU, idle enabled=ULTRIX, 64MB, HALT to SIMH > 2.

Do you have a line in your ini file attaching NVRAM, like this? attach nvr nvram.bin That will save your NVRAM settings and re-load them when the simulator starts.
