What do you need NICs for simh? What are you running?

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. ;)
Added to /etc/system. It appears to have worked. Idling works.
I like to test one change at a time.

Hello!
Okay. Good then.
Yes! Now to get the NICs working so I can test simh entirely. ;)
Also, your SCSI controllers went out today.
Dave you're off the hook. That does mean that the Cyber invasion
hosted on your system will take longer.....

Incidentally, is it possible to SYSGEN a fresh system to a clean disk image from this RSX-11MPlus 4.6 image?
I ask because I'm fed up with being stuck on 4.2 and having to tell my PDP-11 sims it's 1985 :D I'd much prefer a Y2K compliant version of RSX-11M Plus, which 4.6 is, but would like it SYSGEN'd to my emulated system on a fresh drive if possible.
As far as I know (I haven't looked thoroughly), it is a complete system. So you should be able to do a SYSGEN just fine.

You can convert these images to simh .tap files using VCP command and the simh itself :)

Dear All,
I found several pdp-11 tape image files on the net which have ".tap"
suffix.
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.
Johnny
There's file on trailing-egde:
