Once I've got it built (i'll just do the screen thing for now) we can start adding wizbang feature to it. :) -brian On 10/15/2012 11:19 AM, Cory Smelosky wrote: On Oct 15, 2012, at 11:13 AM, Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> wrote: I suggest you launch simh in a screen, so one can log in and do a screen -Dr to get the console.
