If this is just for a one shot deal, it might be a lot easier to talk someone else into letting you into their VAX instead of dealing with all of this. After installing VMS, which is harder for the older versions, you will still need to install pascal. If this is for a longer term project,

Hmm. I heard about info-vax mailing lists some time ago. I did not know that mailing list still exists. I submitted subscription to info-vax. Thanks for let me know. Tim From: Simh On Behalf Of Clem Cole Sent: Friday, March 23, 2018 11:13 AM To: Henk

I'm sure those three standalone backup tapes are TU58 images which aren't really "tapes" in the usual SIMH sense of the word. TU58 images are a little more like "disks" in the emulator world. You do not attach them to "TS". I think you attach them to "TD0" in a simulated 11/750 or maybe just
