Re: A Personal Milestone (Data General Emulation)
Congratulations! Data General is one big gap in my experience and collection, great to know someone is working hard emulating the OS :) -Eric On Thu, Jun 2, 2022, 3:46 PM Stephen Merrony via cctech < cctech@classiccmp.org> wrote: > I hope hope you don't mind me sharing a little personal milestone: today > my long-winded attempt at a Data General AOS/VS emulator ran an original > third-party program successfully for the first time. > > There are actually two closely-coupled emulators, one that attempts to > emulate MV class hardware, and another that tries to provide a virtual > AOS/VS environment. > > Due to the frustrating lack of freely available documentation and > software for these machines which ceased production in the mid-1990s, I > am now focusing on the AOS/VS emulator. > > Oh, the program that ran was OTHELLO, from the NADGUG (North American > Data General User Group) games collection.

Re: A Personal Milestone (Data General Emulation)
Very cool. Maybe this will cause some of the documentation and software that have been locked away in various private archives to finally shake loose!

A Personal Milestone (Data General Emulation)
I hope hope you don't mind me sharing a little personal milestone: today my long-winded attempt at a Data General AOS/VS emulator ran an original third-party program successfully for the first time. There are actually two closely-coupled emulators, one that attempts to emulate MV class hardware, and another that tries to provide a virtual AOS/VS environment. Due to the frustrating lack of freely available documentation and software for these machines which ceased production in the mid-1990s, I am now focusing on the AOS/VS emulator. Oh, the program that ran was OTHELLO, from the NADGUG (North American Data General User Group) games collection. I lost the game :-/ If anyone is interested, the emulator status is here: https://github.com/SMerrony/dgemua/blob/main/STATUS.md Steve
