Or do > you want to use SIMH as a basis? It's just a vague idea. It's much too early to say I have any kind of plan in place. I might use SIMH, or something like Musashi, or write my own in adjunction to my VT52 and VT100 simulators. I suppose the Unibus interface to a VAX host would favour use of SIMH, in which case the VS100 would look like a SIMH device with a 68000 inside.

My idea is to make a VS100 emulator and have it run the firmware uploaded by early X versions. But I have some other things going on now, so it will have to wait. I'd be grateful for any help; I may well get in touch in the future.

I asked, and he said he's willing to dump the ROM. I dumped the ROMs from my VAXstation 100 some time ago (along with many other DEC devices): http://www.9track.net/roms/ 23-288E4.bin and 23-289E4.bin are probably the two main ones you are looking for. Do you just need the ROMs or are you looking for technical info on the VAXstation 100? I may be able to help. Regards, Matt

Reviving a year old thread, did anyone get around to dumping the VAXstation 100 firmware? I gave my VAXstation 100 system unit to Dave McGuire last year (I didn't need it since I lost interest in UNIBUS sized hobby equipment). Perhaps he could make a copy of its ROMs. -- Lee K.
