Bob, perhaps posting on alt.sys.pdp10 may help.

Onderwerp: [HECnet] TOPS20 on simh
Verzonden: 4 augustus 2011 23:29
Are there any HECnet'ers running TOPS20 on simh? Have you gotten the idle
detection to work?
I set up a TOPS20 system with simh (simh v3.8.1 on Ubuntu, TOPS20 v4.1
clean install). The installation went fine with no problems, but I cannot
get the idle detection feature in simh to work. I say -
pdp10
sim> att rp0 tops20-4.1.rp06
sim> set cpu tops20
sim> set cpu idle tops20
sim> show cpu
CPU, idle enabled, stability wait = 20s, 1048KW, TOPS-20
sim> b rp
....
Everything boots and runs fine, but simh uses about 98% of the host CPU and
never goes down. In an hour of wall clock time the pdp10 process uses about
58+ minutes of CPU time. Clearly the idle detection isn't working for me.
I did try posting this question on the simh list, but got no comments so I
guess nobody there is using TOPS20. And yes, I could use KLH10, but AFAIK
KLH10 has no idle detection feature at all.
Thanks,
Bob

Guys,
Being that my Mini is starting to show its age, I figured I'd move GORVAX onto something more modern.
Unfortunately that means running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - which means the networking went to shit.
Anyone got a copy of the SIMH VAX binary to run properly on 10.6?
