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.

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.
