That is good to see color display! I had an Ultrix account for one semester with VAXstation II/GPX system. My physics teacher taught us how to use CAD to design a processor. I passed a course and got A! Yes, Ultrix supports VAXstation II/GPX system for X Windows.
I would like to see color display for other VAX emulators like VAXstation 3900 and VAXstation 4000 systems. I now found firmware images for VAX 4000 and 6000 series. Have you successfully emulate HSC constrollers for CI interface yet?

It hasn't been merged into the Simh master branch yet but for now you can get the code from: https://github.com/9track/simh/tree/VCB02 If you need a Windows executable then that's available here: http://www.9track.net/simh/vax630 Here is the current status for the graphical environments that I've tested: DECwindows - All OK as far as I can tell. VWS - Works but leaves trails on the screen if you drag a window. UWS - Works but certain visual elements such as window icons are missing. Also I'm not sure the colours a are quite right. I will have to test this on a real VAX to check. Only captured input mode is currently supported. This must be set before enabling the device. sim> set qdss capture sim> set qdss enabled The VCB02 has only been added to the MicroVAX II simulator so far (VAXstation II/GPX). I know there have been some discussions previously about the MicroVAX 3900 supporting the VCB02 though I've not had success with that yet.
