Re: [Simh] VMS Hobbyist Licenses

I fired up my simh VMS system for the first time in a few weeks only to see I was getting expired license messages. Even with VAX-VMS expired I could log in with my own account to OPA0. On Thu, Mar 19, 2020, 10:29 AM Robert Thomas wrote: > The potential real revenue stream from VAX users with

Re: [Simh] Releasing terspy.mar - vax/vms terminal spy program

I fired up my simh VMS system and saw we have a watch.exe from 1995. As it needs another person to observe I couldn't use it in action. On Wed, Mar 25, 2020, 11:44 AM Bob Eager wrote: > I just looked at the sources of the SPY program I have. > > It's quite small, and most of it is a driver in

Re: [Simh] Various

Our VAX 11/780 had a card reader in the very early 1980s for reading in the names and details of incoming freshmen so their accounts could be set up. It usually required a few runs to obtain an uncorrupted read of the card deck. The IBM system that generated the cards was on the other side of a

Re: [Simh] going back to the VAX console with CTRL P

It would make sense to add some conditional code so when a VAX emulator is compiled Ctrl-P is set as the console interrupt character. Ctrl-E is used when line editing. On Tue, Aug 6, 2019, 1:36 PM Mark Pizzolato wrote: > On Tuesday, August 6, 2019 at 10:19 AM, gérard Calliet wrote: > > With a

Re: [Simh] Tun/Tap in Mint for RSX-11M Plus 4.6 running in SimH PDP11

For my recent VAX installation on windows I used NAT and initially tested using an ethernet connection. I cannot telnet in but most outbound connections work. At least eliminate one area of possible trouble by using a wired connection for initial testing. On Sun, Jun 23, 2019, 9:07 PM Will Senn

Re: [Simh] Limits on MSCP controllers

The system that I set up for myself and for my friend (who needs one more disk than I do) was cloned from a VMS Cluster that has been in continuous operation in its present form for about 20 years, so the issue is not with mounting disks too early in the startup sequence. Not that this helps much

[Simh] VAX emulator slow to configure extra disks

A vax emulator I was configuring for a friend (MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Current git commit id: ab3e07a4) needs to mount more than four disks. The .INI file has set rqb enabled and an associated attach command. In my VMS startup disks are mounted very close to the beginning of the boot

The vms systems on our campus are about to be shut down. My former boss and I would like to still have access to our files, so I've moved an image of a vax system disk into simh. He is a networking expert and I am no slouch, but neither of us can figure out why we cannot establish any kind of
