I have yet to find a comprehensive document that tells what version of XXDP that run on what model. This document http://www.dmv.net/dec/pdf/xxdpum.pdf on page 2-2 (26) says 11/23 family is supported. This document seems to relate to V2.4 Now testing SimH with a (compressed) XXDP 2.5 and XXDP 2.2 image give exactly the same result. Halt. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/xxdp/ I really think that it should be possible to run XXDP V2.2 and V2.2 on a KDF11-A CPU. Testing on real hardware shows that both KDF11-A and KDF11-B boots up fine. If I enable LTC on a KDF11-A (have not tested on KDF11-B yet) it will halt at the very same location. So it has to do with LTC rather than model in my opinion. So how can I disable LTC in SimH so that it acts like the LTC switch on the front panel?

Sorry about the uncompressed image. BTW: I have also tested this very same image on a real 11/04 and it does boot to XXDP prompt (it does have DL11-W so LTC registers are there) . But then it is unable to read the disk. Maybe the DU driver is not happy with the CMD SCSI card. Booting RT11 on the same setup works fine. Testing on a real 11/03 boots but hangs in a loop somewhere around 150100 and never prints a prompt. (LTC disabled) But for the two latter it is highly unsure if they are at all supported by XXDP v2.2 /Mattis > /Bob Supnik > > _______________________________________________ > Simh mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
