An off the wall question that I'm sure somebody on HECnet will know - was it ever possible to download a boot image (e.g. RSX-11S) to a PDP11 over a DDCMP serial interface (e.g. a DUP/DMR/DMC or whatever)? Kind of like doing MOP over Ethernet, but without the Ethernet. Theoretically, three-chip boot ROM sets exist for: (XL) DECnet DDCMP DL11-E - 23-926A9, 23-927A9, 23-928A9 (XM) DECnet DDCMP DMC11/DMR11 - 23-862A9, 23-863A9, 23-864A9 (XU) DECnet DDCMP DU11 - 23-865A9, 23-866A9, 23-867A9 (XW) DECnet DDCMP DUP11 - 23-868A9, 23-869A9, 23-870A9 but I think they're on the list of "not known in captivity".

It was fine until the VM host moved to vmware... I have three news for you: 1: It's a known bug (good) 2: It has a workaround (good) 3: You won't like it (baad!) The bug is related with the async timer implementation in KLH10. It has been discussed in the TOPS-20 mailing list and someone (IIRC was the late Mark Crispin himself) said it was not fixable. The relevant details (and the workaround) are here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups=#!msg/alt.sys.pdp10/xndbq… Now the bad news. The KLH10 idling "device" is based on the asynch timer implementation, and DOES NOT WORK with synch timers. That means KLH10 will use all your available CPU, all the time. There is ANOTHER workaroud for that (I'm using it with my KHL10 simulator running in a rasp-pi). If you are going to use Linux search for a nifty utility called cpulimit. It does just what you think it does :). In a crude way, but it works. Jordi Guillaumes i Pons jg at jordi.guillaumes.name HECnet: BITXOV::JGUILLAUMES

Download a PDP-11 w/o Ethernet?

mim?

I'm bouncing packets off of it periodically to test some router configuration changes, and suddenly it disappeared. Since I was making some fairly dramatic changes to my router configuration, I assumed I had broken something, but I can see several other nodes...just not MIM. Is anyone else having similar problems? Johnny, what's the status of MIM? It had crashed for some reason today. Unfortunately I lost the console so I don't know why. Rebooted now anyway.
