I was able to compile DECaxp, but I couldn’t figure out how to do anything with it. I opted to go with the same Linux version as the author. Has anyone managed to get it working? Zane > On May 7, 2020, at 7:01 PM, Timothy Stark wrote: > > There is a few open source Alpha emulators like

There is a few open source Alpha emulators like ES40 and DECaxp (available on Gitlab). I got a copy of DECaxp but only sources. I am figuring how to compile it. Tim From: Simh On Behalf Of Z Sztrprszkolwia Sent: Thursday, May 7, 2020 3:51 PM To: simh@trailing-edge.com Subject: [Simh]

Mark, You are right. This may already take care of what I am doing! One thing I do is read the BACKUP /BLOCKSIZE from the save set file and stuff that into the HDR2/EOF2 label. What I have with are save sets that were written to disk, so the block size is 32256. That is still within the

David, That would be just what I'm looking for. I'll look for his code. Paul's ods2 is already in simtools/extracters. I worked on that years ago and recently sent my updates to Hunter Goatley. Thanks, Larry Baker US Geological Survey 650-329-5608 ba...@usgs.gov

[Simh] Status of alpha simulator

I've just realised there is a directory with some files for an alpha simulator, but it seems to be lacking most peripherals. Given the uncertain situation with being able to keep running OpenVMS on the VAX sim past 2021, I'm wondering why the alpha sim never got finished (some unsurmountable

Unfortunately, Earthlink took the unexplained action a couple of months ago of deleting ALL personal web pages they had formerly supported for their users. They did issue a warning that it would happen, but never apologized or told us why. A lot of stuff was lost or at least removed from public

Hi Larry, Maybe you don't need to do what you're trying to do. The latest SIMH tape support can let you attach the file in question and have it look to VMS like an ANSI labeled tape to the simulated system. sim> ATTACH TS0 -FB ANSI-VMS 8192 your-data-file{*}{,otherfiles...} >From VMS's point

If you are writing in C, then even if the machine is 32 bits, the C language will normally give you a 64-bit integer data type, so you should be able to do this really easily, and portable. The biggest question when it comes to portability would be byte ordering... In fairly modern C: int64_t
