There are some known issues with the LANCE Ethernet controller which I'm currently investigating. The problem could be related to the issue reported here: https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/698 > I then tried booting from CDROM and installing VMS (5.5-2H4 - I want to > replicate a particular historical system).

You need one of these commands: set cpu model=VAXstation set cpu model=VAXstationGPX set cpu model=VAXstationSPX or the equivalent: set vc enable set va enable set ve enable Note that the SPX video option is only partially implemented and is not really usable right now. The executables are named VAXstation because that was the marketing name for these systems. When the graphics are disabled it will be reported as a VAXserver by VMS but the real systems never carried this name. We start with the graphics disabled so that the user can choose which video option they want to enable. Also it's possible the simulator could have been built without SDL support.
