This one has been on my todo list for a while. My plan was to use one of the DZ ports or similar so you can: $ SET HOST/DTE TTA0: %REM-I-TOQUIT, connection established Press Ctrl/\ to quit, Ctrl/@ for command mode sim> det rq1 sim> att rq1 newdisk.dsk sim> ^\ %REM-S-END, control returned to node _0:: $ This method requires no changes to the guest O/S. All that is needed is a suitable terminal emulator that can connect to one of the simulated serial ports. Which port was used would of course be configurable: sim> set console runtime=dz0 Matt _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
