Thanks. I'll see if I have some time to look at it today.

    Actually, thinking about it, it should be enough with just the boot
    file that you are using.

                 Cool, thanks.

                 I figured out what's going on.  The standalone programs
        are running,
                 they just aren't displaying any input or output after
        the first
                 character is printed.  So if I do this:

                 --
                 sim> load -o boot 0
                 sim> run 2

                 --
                 and then blindly type "ra(0,0)vmunix", it boots!


             [...]

             Hmm hmm. I suspect I might know what is going on there. I'd
        have to
             test and play around some to verify, though. The console
        I/O on the
             86x0 machines are a bit special, and I wouldn't be surprised if
             there were some issues in simh related to that.

             Mark, can we get some trace of all reads and writes to the
        registers
             related to the console? (There are four logical devices
        addressed on
             the 86x0 machines through the same CSRs.)

             Henry, if you could get such information logged, we could
        probably
             fix this pretty fast. Or else if you could just provide me
        with the
             files, I could test this myself as well. I don't have an
        old Ultrix
             image around, though.

                 And I can then interact with the console, characters

                      The latest github code will no longer drop the last
                 character output
                      just prior to executing a HALT instruction which
        returns to the
                      "sim> " prompt.

                      Like I said above, nothing else changes though.
