A really valuable tutorial. It's also the first proof that the LGP30
simulator sort-of works; I'm relieved.
Shoehorning the LGP30's operating procedures into SimH's default syntax
was difficult. It might have been better to use the 'simulator-defined
command' capability to create a set of LGP30 specific commands. But
there isn't much user interest in this ancient beast, so I'd as soon let
sleeping dogs lie.

Some time ago, there were two posts asking how to operate the simh LGP-30
emulator. It is not exactly obvious from the
rudimentary manual, and it seems nobody had figured it out completely. I am
slightly obsessed with this machine at the
moment (it happens), so here is a how-to on operating the emulator and running
the tape library of Christian Corti on it
- in the hope it's of use to others looking for clues:

Corti's LGP-30 emulator, by the way, gives a much better feel for the machine.
But simh source is available, which I
needed because I'm making a replica hardware front panel for the machine.
Regards,
Oscar.
