Hello! Not yet. I only snagged the first three of the 5 series that I could find. For example 5.1.3 worked as far as being booted from the stock release. (Installation is next.) I'm going to try 5.1.4 and 5.1.5 next. Also 5.2 and stuff between them, and including your 7 suggestion.
And Mark? I'm interested in the differences between why the last known release on the SIMH website worked as far as booting the CD image goes, and what's currently inside GIT does not. ----- Gregg C Levine [email protected] "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
