Anyone got TOPS-20 / Ultrix with DECNET SIMH image ready to run?

Should run on a MicroVAX 3900, haven't tested other systems using SIMH yet. It's more "abandonware" but licenses can be "made" if you know how. You can get install media from TUHS iirc.

Anyone got a working image / HOWTO on getting this going? For TOPS-20, you can enable DECNET in the panda distribution with not too much effort. I tried to explain how to do it here: http://ancientbits.blogspot.com.es/2013/05/ten-over-pi.html The main problem is the network setup. You will have to work in shared mode and it can wreck the host machine NIC. Aren't we mixing up a couple of things here? The Panda distribution, as far as I know, runs on the KL, which SIMH does not emulate. SIMH emulates the KS and right now you can't run DECnet on the KS. There is work being done now to bring the KMC/DUP emulation to SIMH to allow DECnet to run on the KS. You should contact the SIMH mailing list for status on this.

RE: [DECtec] Slight OT: SIMH Framebuffer support

Just last night I got code pieces from Matt Burke (the guy at 9track.net) to add VCB01 (QVSS) support to the simh codebase for the MicroVAX I and MicroVAX II simulators. I'm in the process of merging that code and adding the necessary build mechanisms to the makefile as we speak. This will be cleaned up and visible at https://github.com/simh/simh in at most a couple of days.... - Mark

does the MIPS version of Ultrix do DECNET? Yes, there was a DECnet kit for MIPS Ultrix. It's a separate product from the OS, though. Bob

Quick question for those in the know - does the MIPS version of Ultrix do DECNET? The reason I ask is that I found something called GXemul that'll give me graphics more or less "natively"..Check it out: http://gxemul.sourceforge.net

I would like to play with Ultrix too. I tried to install it some time ago and didn't succeed (no docs, a probably corrupted media image...). Are there viable media available somewhere? Docs?

Al 11/06/13 10:13, En/na Sampsa Laine ha escrit: I'm running it in a VM (VirtualBox) - is this going to work? Indeed, and it is easier to make it work than in a real machine :) Just add a virtual NIC to be used by KLH10 in dedicated mode and you will be set. I used to run my TOPS-20 instance under a virtual box machine (with capped CPU) with one of those ultralean linux distros as host OS. IIRC the only weird thing I had to do was to force the vbox NICS at the host side (the "real" host) as promiscuous. Not sure why.
