Hi Mark, I'm glad you've got this issue solved.
If you picked precompiled up binaries from https://github.com/markpizz/simh/downloads you may want to pick up the latest precompiled binaries. These include optimizations which increate the simulator instruction execution speed by 20% and also fix some disk sizing issues if you happen to use the vax780 simulator and RP disks. - Mark On Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 9:18 AM, Mark Benson wrote: > On 17 Mar 2012, at 15:34, Timothe Litt wrote: > > > Sounds like M$ "system restore".
