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.

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.

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. -Henry _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh 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. -Henry
