A couple of points:

1) The ?53 self test error might be a red herring – I intermittently get ?53 2 errors on both Windows (Intel) and Raspbian (pi 3) when starting the VAX emulation under SIMH. I think it is something to do with the clock test failing, because the emulation is sufficiently fast that the test that the clock is advancing fails because it hasn’t yet ticked during the test. Despite the message saying normal operation not possible, if you try and boot VMS, it works fine.

2) I successfully boot my raspberry pi into my VMScluster (boot node is SimH on Windows) without any faffing with tun/tap/br. I just ATTACH XQ ETH0, and my Simh satellite happily boots from  XQ. I realise that I might need more infrastructure if I needed local routing from VAX to host (without echo from a physical ethernet switch), but for normal VMS operation in a cluster, it works fine without.

1. Yes I have observerd that as well.

2. Indeed. The bridge/tun/tap is only needed when you want to use a
   single physical interface on the Pi to accomodate both access to the
   virtual simh VAX and to the Raspbian host.For example, using my
   setup, I can telnet into the VAXcluster and ssh into the Raspbian OS
   rom my Windows laptop (and any other Pi in the 4 node VAXcluster)
   simulateously.
