Hi, that's quite easy: 1) Either in the SIMH console or in the VAX.INI file used to configure your simulation, use the following commands: {from VAX.INI} ; This virtual machine has 256M memory (cpu extend to enable mem 64M) ; note: set cpu extend is not needed, as it is implicitely included

Hi, I just finished another Blinkenlight project: An extended SimH runs on a BeagleBone (credit card sized Linux platform) and controls real console panels of historical computers, or simulations of those panels. So the project is named BlinkenBone. First implementation is

Hi, this means: You want to use the same phyiscal disk image file on the host system, and tell two (or more ?) SIMH instances to connect to an run on this same image ? This reminds me - it should be identical to booting two 11/750s (or whatever ...), both connected to a dual-interface RA81

Hi, thanks for your new ideas as well :-) The behaviour you described reminded me to the time when working with real hardware, especially the one when connecting two VAX's lines together ... and about the VT teminal connections, I remember that we used to hard-wire DTR jumpers for some

Hi, is a required volume is missing during the initial startup - why not simply create one ? Can be any size, with the same name and controller as it was before. Then, your system should boot up as usual (as long as no real required files were on that missing disk). With SIMH, it's just
