Dear All,

It isn't well known simh/e11/tap/tpc tape images.
Please help to identify which format they have.
How such file can be converted to simh .tap or .tpc or how it can be
used/mounted?
Below is the beginning of hexdump of one of these files named "F77.TAP":

Where did you find them? They look totally broken. I can't see any reasonable format in them at all. The first 512 bytes might be some kind of meta-information, but it's really weird.
Get some proper images instead, as from trailing-egde.

There's file on trailing-egde:
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/rsxdists/rsx11mplus_4_6_bl87_dsk.zip
It contains rsx11mplus_4_6_bl87.dsk disk image.

It looks to me like some gomer "imaged" a tape with dd or similar tool,
possibly on a drive set to fixed 512-byte block size. See, for example,
the 80 byte VOL1 record all alone in a 0x200-sized chunk with zero
padding.
If the original tape actually WAS fb512, and there was only one tape
"file" on the media, you might be able to convert this into an actual
.tap file by simply wrapping each chunk of 512 bytes in the proper
record length field. That is, place a word 0x00000200 (note:
little-endian) before and after each 512 byte chunk of the input file,
and the words 0x00000000 and 0xffffffff at the end of the file.
If the tape wasn't fb512, or contains multiple logical files, then about
the only way to save the image would be to grovel through it trying to
intuit record boundaries based on intimate knowledge of the habits of
the tool used to write the original.

Hi,
I have built another little simulated machine:
Name: BITXOX
Address: 7.60
This one simulates a small VAX 11/730 running VMS 5.5. This machine has RSX11/VMS running and the GUEST account has MCR as default CLI. It's a little weird thing I have set up just as a curiosity. If someone pays a visit, please consider it is SLOW, with just 4M of RAM (several processes are swapped out just after startup), and sharing its host (a Rasp-pi) with several other virtual machines...

That's a parameter override file; it won't be in there unless someone

Is there a man page detailing all the options?
I have no idea. You guys have dug up this info....
Most Solaris folk aren't really accustomed to just rebooting their
machines.
So I guess I fit in? I don't even like rebooting NT 4. ;)
I suggest that you make the change to /etc/system now so you don't forget when you go to shutdown to install the NICs or you'll end up with multiple reboots at that time....
Then again, if your system has trouble rebooting after installing the NICs you won't know if it has to do with the newly added hardware or the change to the OS configuration file .
I'll let Brian be the guinea pig then. ;)
I like to test one change at a time.

Speaking of SIMH, anyone try the Alpha emulator in the betas yet?
Is it any good?
Just downloaded the beta sources but can't find a makefile or any docs, anyone got pointers?
