That would be pretty nifty - build a laptop that runs Linux, starts SIMH from init and runs with graphics. A VaxBook if you will. sampsa <sampsa at mac.com> mobile +358 40 7208932 On 23 Sep 2013, at 04:00, Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com> wrote: On 09/22/2013 09:43 PM, Sampsa Laine wrote: Speaking of SIMH v4, I came across this in github: Add sim_video and VAX QVSS (VCB01) Monochrome Video Board from Matt Burke Does this mean we'll get a graphical version of SIMH VAX?

If you want to use the GRE tunnels I can give you access to the db to update your IP. -brian On Sep 22, 2013, at 16:18, "Robert Jarratt" <robert.jarratt at ntlworld.com> wrote: I don't have multinet and I have never installed it.

Steve, I'm out of the country and the new GORVAX is running UCX, not MULTINET :( It was crashing all the time for some odd reason.

Glad to let ya have 'em - I'd have offered them to you privately first, but I thought you were getting cramped for space too. Nope. I got tired of that problem and bought a 14,000 square foot building. Life's too short! It's true that I'm trying to get rid of some hardware, but only to tighten my focus for the museum. I have a few Sun Fire 6800s and similar "too old to run, too new to collect" machines that I'd like to re-home. I'll ship them in next week and let you know the amount (shouldn't be much for a few cards) and you can just Paypal me the money if that's convenient for you - or send a check, whatever you find most convenient. All the same to me. Sounds good, thanks! PayPal works for me too. (I haven't used paper checks in years!) I'll send you my shipping address off-list. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
