The commands in NCP would be almost the same. The first one NCP> SET CIRC ESA-0 SERVI ENAB and the second one NCP> DEFI NODE X.X NAME DS200 LOAD FILE PR0801ENG.SYS SERVICE CIRCUIT ESA-0 Where the x.x is some DECnet address in your area which is not used. This might not be 100% correct because I use DECnet Phase IV seldom nowadays.

TOPS20 on simh

Bob, I've have had no luck with idle on either simh or klh10 (for TOPS20). I'd planned to post to alt.sys.pdp10 but hadn't gotten around to it yet. If you run across anything, I'd be interested. I may experiment a bit this weekend if I get the time. Joe On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 5:29 PM, Bob Armstrong <bob at jfcl.com> wrote: Are there any HECnet'ers running TOPS20 on simh?

SIMH networking in OS X 10.6?

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? Sampsa

NOTES et al

I'd be interested in further developing it if I know the language as it's something STAR69 (my VAX emulator) might come in handy for. I am not sure what it is written in, but from the documentation I read, I am thinking C of some variant since it lists a C compiler as a requirement. I have to pull some header files from the NOTES distribution as well pull in some pieces from the OSU web server, so while it does not seem difficult, it will take a bit of time and planning. Once I have something to test I'll email the list. NOTES is still running on MISER:: if folks with character-cell (or X) clients would like to connect.

NOTES et al

by md.benson＠gmail.com

As soon as I have time, I'll install it on MISER:: if possible, as I already run Apache on this machine anyway ... It may be even as soon as tonight, Thursday. Once something is running I'll post to the list to see if everyone would like to start "testing". :) I'll certainly give it a good poking once it's up. Do you know what language it's scripted in? I'd be interested in further developing it if I know the language as it's something STAR69 (my VAX emulator) might come in handy for. -- Mark Benson http://markbenson.org/blog http://twitter.com/MDBenson
