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.

Anyone is absolutely free to do what you suggest in their own configuration
file.
Changing the default simh behavior at this time would break all of the existing
configurations that currently exist in the field. Not a good idea.

Hello,
With a hardware VAX, we can get back to the console from the OPA
terminal using a CTRL P key. Usefull to do some deposit, for example to
initiate xDELTA.
Is it something like that possible with simh? I tried it and no result.
Do I miss something?

List discussions today have commented on the default of Ctl-E (ASCII
005) as the SIMH escape character, to return from a guest O/S to SIMH
itself.
That character is commonly used in the emacs editor family, and in
Unix and TOPS-20 shells, usually to move to end of line. I was long
ago
I think the key concept was "the simulator does not stop". Essentially,
be able to give commands to simh while the simulated system continues
running. Which would be a nice thing to be able to do when you just want
to change which tape or disk is attached, for example.

The biggest problem that I find is that unless you do a console, you lose
your prompt and that is kind of annoying. It would be nice if you could
re-echo if you will in order to keep continuity.

Hi All,
What I would rather see then an automatic connection of the console
to a telnet port, is the command processor running in a thread so
that when you ^E your simulator does not stop. Perhaps this could be
toggle able for testing purposes. SIMH already support redirecting

Hi Mark,
It does but is cumbersome. If all I want to do is attach or detach a
device or change a setting I have to connect up to the remote port
and issue the command. Would be nice just to hit ^E execute the
commands I want and then ^E to get back to simulator.

IMO, this is the issue with in-band systems. No matter what you pick, it
is going to conflict with something. ^P was an issue on the vax console.
Hey ^S/^Q being 'in-band' has always been an issue for lots of things

Hello,
I didn't want to be boring and create a philosophical discution. It was
a naïve question.
And in fact, I could do what I wanted to do (ask for softint #14 to
initiate xdelta debugger) by program.
simh console and VAX emulated console have not same syntax to interact
with registers,

Hi,
A few weeks ago I commented that I was setting up a SIMH VAXstation 4000 and
had noticed some failures in the console self-test. Since then I've had it
running more or less continously and in general it works nicely, but I have
noticed something odd: VMS logs a MEMORY ERROR every minute.
