V7.1 of Ersatz-11 is done. New features include:
- DMP11/DMV11 network ports.
- DDCMP over TCP and UDP (as well as serial lines).
- Kermit client for transferring files in and out of the PDP-11 over any
emulated serial line (KERMIT command and KERMIT: pseudo-driver).
- "MOUNT ddcu: BAD: /LIST:badblks.txt ..." adds fake bad blocks (from a
list in a file) to any disk (for testing PDP-11 utilities).
- "MOUNT ddcu: ... {/NOPAD | /PAD:NULL | /PAD:RAM}" selects how to handle
emulating disks with an image file (or physical drive) that's smaller
than the drive being emulated. (/PAD:RAM is currently an experimental
feature and may have bugs -- it's intended for systems that use the tail
end of the drive as swap space.)
- DPDISK: and DPTAPE: (BOTH UNSUPPORTED) set up dual-ported disks and tapes.
Any disk or tape type can be mounted on one of these pseudo-devices, after
which units 0 and 1 of the pseudo-device represent the two ports which may
in turn each be mounted on different PDP-11 controllers, presumably on
different processors of a multi-processor system.
- "SET TTu: DL11A" (needed by DOS/BATCH for TT0:).
- "SET PCLOG n" enlarges the number of logged PC values that can be shown
with SHOW PCLOG.
- New native "SYS" utilities for Linux, OS/2, and Windows, for making disks
(or flash drives) boot the stand-alone version of E11. The Linux and
Windows versions try to notice if a drive (e.g. USB flash card that came
pre-partitioned) hasn't been made "active" and/or is missing the MBR
bootstrap, and fixes it (may require privs). If anyone can please tell
me what sys calls in OS/2 will find out which physical drive owns a FAT
volume given the drive letter, I'd appreciate it!
- The stand-alone version's bootstrap supports USB drives (including flash).
Also there's a bootable CD, but since there's currently no ATAPI dev
driver or ISO9660 FS driver, it can't install E11 onto a hard drive, and
it requires a FAT volume to hold .DSK files etc. So it's more of a proof
of concept than something useful (but it's an easy way to try out the
stand-alone version of E11).
Bug fixes and tweaks as usual (sorry about that .TAP seeking thing in V7.0!).
As usual, the Demo version can be downloaded from:

On screen? Not under RSX, but I don't remember the code in any detail, so I don't know if it could.

I see something like

but that is in an XTerm.
The sixel file is there too

Probably I'll need to better format the Fortran write formats.
