I want to get simh (vax vms) running on a Windows8 machine. I don't have much experience with Windows8.
I have simh installed, everything configured, and it will boot to a user login prompt. However, there are a lot of problems. 1. Terminal is awful. No VT emulation at all. I set up the Dz to port 4000, (ATT DZ 4000) and have tried to attach to it using Kermit95, but it can't. I need to have a VT terminal emulation to be able to run my programs. 2. Whenever I try to start up networking withing VMS (decnet or tcpip), it completely locks up. It hangs when it accesses the network interface. Control/E does nothing at that pont. Letting it sit for a while does nothing. The Windows machine can access the internet. I have installed WinPCAP Versio 4.31.3 (latest version). Attached is a startup script close to what I'm using (modified on win8 machine to have c:/simh/ where appropriate) Is there some documentation on getting simh working on Windows8 somewhere? It's useless without being able to attach a VT terminal emulator to it somehow.
