Hi guys I'm the new kid here, despite my grey hair.
Anyway, what I'm quite interested in, is any kind of Alpha AXP support for SIMH. And also while we are at it, what about some kind of fancy JIT code generation ...
I have a SIMH running OpenVMS VAX 7.3 which is stable enough, and keeps the right time, and doesn't eat much CPU, and you can attach and detach drives and newly created CDs and all sorts of goodness. But it is a tad slow.
I also have a few old and creaky freeware/demo/foundware AXP emulators for running OpenVMS Alpha 8.4. They are nowhere near as good in features as SIMH, but they run quite a bit faster.
I realise this is not trivial, or it would be done by now. And there may be copyright/patent/whatever issues too.
Obviously I want to square the circle and have lots of nice features, and have speed, and last but not least, all that for free ... :)
Thanks for your prompt consideration
