Interesting. I'm currently experimenting with 'ttylinux' (latest build) to work on a EPIA-10000 board with a MOXA 4 channel serial card.
This release uses kernel 2.6.34.6 and I use the i486 configuration file. I did build a simh package for it so it work within the ttylinux build environment. The linux kernel runs in 8 - 12Mb, and uses busybox & dropbear for utilities & ssh connectivity. I also have modified the simh code in such a way that it can use real serial lines within the emulator, so you can use a real vt100 to work on. Both the console and a 8 port DZ-11 can be configured. i.e. 'set console serial=/dev/tty00:1200' (1200 is the speed) for the console line or 'set DZ map=0=/dev/tty01' The simh version I use is v3.8-1 and it contains only the pdp11 code in the build package. As a side note : I have the same version of that code including the real serial code running on my Unix workstation at the office, and I have a vt-525 connected via an Edgeport usb to serial converter. It runs rsx-11m 4.4 with a 'show memory' display, for some week now.
