I'm surprised that the NAT(SLiRP) connectivity isn't useful here.

Meanwhile, a while back it was no problem to build the current codebase with 
the ADK.  I haven't tried in a few years, but there it s no reason it shouldn't 
still work.

I used to use the SIMH for the Android (which cost me about $13) but now that I 
have Lollipop.  It doesn't work anymore.  I know I could hack my tablet but 
it's connected through a Cell service provider so I'd rather not.  I know the 
terminal I used Better Terminal Emulator Pro which was required for the port.

I ended up with a spare Kindle Touch and didn't need an ebook reader, so I 
decided it might make a nice platform for SIMH.  After jailbreaking and rooting 
the Kindle, it's just Linux (and X11 for the Kindle interface) so 
cross-compiling SIMH was easy.  Networking over wifi obviously doesn't work (as 
recently discussed here) but networking over USB does, so it's tethered to a 
server for connection sharing.  The performance is pretty good for such a small 
device.  It's about equivalent to a real VAX 4000/200, so approximately 5 VUP.  
Certainly more than fast enough for 4.2BSD on a simulated 11/780!  Next step is 
to get some sort of console working - right now there's no way that I have 
found to display console output on the screen.

Oh, somebody made SIMH a paid app?  That's no fun... In theory it should be 
easy enough to cross-compile binaries using the Android NDK.  I'll look into it 
at some point when I have a little bit of time.  Of course networking isn't 
going to work over wireless, but I suppose there's still plenty to do without 
it.
