I'm sorry. I've only installed it on Windows. I'm sure others have experience
with OS-X. The networking and other installation issues are addressed in
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/simh_faq.pdf see specifically:
2.3 How do I install SIMH on Unix/Linux/OS-X?
Ethernet support is available
extensions to X, but has a very small footprint,
does not use the registry, requires no special privileges and is reasoanbly
fast.
FYI, the Itanium systems do not support 8-bit pseudocolor on their embedded
graphics.

My first programming experience was on an IBM 1620. I had a chance to write
very simple programs in GOTRAN (an early FORTRAN that ran on the 1620). My
mother was in charge of the company's computational facilities. Prior to the
1620 they had an IBM 730 (?) that was programmed via wiring
The usual situation when installing VMS on a real machine whether VAX, AXP, or
IA64 was to manually type in the initial licenses as given on the license
sheets from DEC/COMPAQ/HP. Depending on the hardware, operating system version
and license bundles, either one, two or more licenses needed
Rather than fight file transfers prior to installing licenses, use the
following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE
The command procedure will guide one through the license data entry in the
order and format as on the hardcopy license.
The format for a command file is as below. The various
We are on the verge of having to retire our AlphaStation XP1000. We have
experimented with some of the commercial emulators, but based on very positive
experience with the VAX emulation under simh are wondering if the AXP EV5
emulation that is hinted at on the simh web site is available and
We have downloaded and installed a number of "free" Alpha emulators. The
Charon PersonalAlphaD20 while limited in terms of memory, disks and other
system resources seemed to be the most solid. We have also tested FreeAXP and
EmuVM. We couldn't get EmuVM to work. Both the Charon and FreeAXP
I know that this is off topic, but we do communicate with Decservers from the
SIMH microvax simulator. We bought a replacement DECserver-90L and it is set
with non-standard passwords, so it is unusable.
Anyone know how to force a factory reset? There is no reset button.

Putty is a fairly compact open source terminal emulator. Would Putty be a
viable alternative to Kermit? We made extensive use of Kermit before the
internet existed. It was usually over modems between PDP-11's running
RSTS/E or RSX-11M. We had a lot of command files that used utilities to

We make extensive use of SAMBA on VMS to enable easy file transfer and other
features with Windows and Linux PC's. The latest version that runs on Alpha
and Itanium is works with few issues. There are some limitations with the
earlier versions that run on VMS, but once one has them running the

We have used FORTRAN since the days when on IBM 1620's it was called GOTRAN.
We used DEC's FORTRAN on PDP-11/20's running DOS, upgraded hardware to run
RSX-11M/ RSX-11M+ using the DEC FORTRAN. Implemented various communications
protocols including Cincinnati Milacron's rewrite of DECNET in

SIMH is very small no bloatware there.
VAX/VMS distribution DVD is under 600MB.
Running VMS systems with many layered products (FORTRAN, BASIC-PLUS,
DATATRIEVE, UCX (TCPIP)) takes significantly less than 1GB.
VMS on ALPHA is also very compact.

The potential real revenue stream from VAX users with hobbyist licenses is
small, but HPE should be able to put a significant dollar value on the Good
Will generated by issuing perpetual licenses.
Historically the sales and marketing people at DEC, COMPAQ, HP and HPE have
