Hi,
I am in the final stages of setting up SIMH to emulate a VAXstation 4000
Model 60. When it's complete I'll do a write-up for others who may be
interested.
I have a startup script configured in Ubuntu to start the simulator, a
SIMH .ini file to set up the simulated system, and have a populated NVR
file which contains the boot-time console options (boot device, flags and
'FBOOT' to bypass most of the self tests).
The simulator boots and runs my VMS 7.3 environment and so far is running
well, with one oddity that I've noticed (in the 24 hours I've had it
running) ... it's logging a MEMORY ERROR every minute. ANAL/ERROR in VMS
shows this:
HARD ERROR KA46
PARCNTRL 010000F1
FILTER ENABLE
MEMCON 7F3F0000
MEMORY CONFIGURATION:
_TOTAL MEMORY = 104 MB
_On Board MEMORY (8MB) - CPU MODULE
_MS44-CA MEMORY SIMM(16MB)BANK 1 FRONT
_MS44-CA MEMORY SIMM(16MB)BANK 1 REAR
_MS44-CA MEMORY SIMM(16MB)BANK 2 FRONT
_MS44-CA MEMORY SIMM(16MB)BANK 2 REAR
_MS44-CA MEMORY SIMM(16MB)BANK 3 FRONT
_MS44-CA MEMORY SIMM(16MB)BANK 3 REAR
MEMERR FFFFFFFF
Memory Parity Error

Write Wrong Parity Set
Memory Parity Checking Enabled
PCSTS 00000000
PRIMARY CACHE DISABLED
BACKUP CACHE MISS
SCCR 00000100
SPECIO: NORMAL IO ADDR
The details -- other than the timestamp -- are identical in every errorlog
entry. Is this a known problem in the VAXstation 4000 simulator?
Startup log follows.
Thanks,
Jeremy Begg
