Hi Mark,
I just tried the updated code for the QVSS display, for which there were issues with the mouse.
The network boot setup that I had to boot a real VAXStation with VMS 5.5-2, already worked with the microvax2, and now indeed the mouse works too in DECWindows!
Thank you!
Erik

Hi Erik,
Thanks for giving this a try. No extra configuration steps should be necessary.
Please create an issue at: https://github.com/simh/simh/issues and outline your problem. Include the output of SHOW VERSION from within the simulator.

Hi Mark and others trying QVSS support,
Compiling a microvax2 with the QVSS display under Ubuntu on a laptop was
successful. Booting an image for my VAXStation 3100 with device XQA0 was
also successful and it was possible to login at the DECWindows login screen
and the usual windows appeared - great!!!
Unfortunately, the mouse does not work (moving and clicking), although
with ctrl-right-shift the mouse releases. This is not really an issue with the
QVSS display, and it could be because I used a VAXStation 3100 image; but
should a mouse be configured in simh's initialization file?

Hi Sampsa,
How timely of you to observe this today.
Just last night I got code pieces from Matt Burke (the guy at
9track.net) to add VCB01 (QVSS) support to the simh codebase for the
MicroVAX I and MicroVAX II simulators.
I'm in the process of merging that code and adding the necessary
build mechanisms to the makefile as we speak.
This will be cleaned up and visible at https://github.com/simh/simh
in at most a couple of days....
For folks who build their own binaries, the latest github code has a
VAXStation I and VAXStation II with the MonoChrome QVSS video
capabilities.
sim> SET CPU MODEL=VAXSTATION
enables the video subsystem.
The VAXStation I has a limit of 4MB of RAM, the VAXStation II has a limit of
16MB.
The makefile should just build the right thing if the development support
for libSDL is installed on your platform.
Please provide bug reports and/or other feedback with issues created
at https://github.com/simh/simh/issues
There is a glitch in my scripts which build and package the windows binaries
which is failing to build the simulators with video support, so folks who count
on the Windows Binaries will have to wait until I fix this.
Thanks.

Subject: [HECnet] SG1 down?
Hello,
I have had a network mishap at home (basically, my ISP convinced me to
upgrade my router firmware...) and I have had to rebuild my NAT tables
from scratch. Now I see I can't connect to neither SG1 nor GORVAX, which
are the sites I used to link thru using the multinet gateway. I see I
can SET HOST to GORVAX (but I somehow remember its multinet gateway has
been down for some time), but I can't SETHOST nor TELNET to SG1.
For the time being I'm using Johhny's bridge to hook up to Hecnet
(thanks Johhny for not deleting my entry :)), but I'd like to get back
the multinet link. Is that a holiday related downtime, or my setup is
really screwed? (I'm NATTing port 700 UDP to my VAX... I think that was
all I had to do to use the Multinet stuff...).

Maybe find a second route into HECnet?

Quite easy.

I can help you go through their hardware configurations and such, crack

I can too, but I m not too familiar with Layer 3 switches. I d love one to

Hello!
Okay Cory how quickly can you get here, and remember to bring
everything you need, and everything you don t.
Not very quickly if you don t have automated cable-installing robots and terminal servers. ;)
Seriously though I've seen these items, ah, mentioned on Amazon whilst
searching for items that wear an AUI port, and even an entire rack of
gear was shown.
Gotta love AUI gear.
