Hello!
Mark, I've built SIMH (again) and had the rig record the build
functions via script. I then bundled up everything that could possibly
be of interest as you related an earlier discussion as it applies to
the emulated video display methods for several emulated systems. I
mentioned that it build properly as it applies to the ones I am
interested in, but that the PDP11 and the VAX ones do not support the
Idle functions. As least it said idle disabled on the opening screen
for the SIMH PDP11 one. On the page describing what Equipment Wanted
is what I'm currently looking for, I added to the text there my files
that you're looking for, and they are named simb.txt, and then
pdp11.txt and then simstart.txt. Remember I mentioned that I wasn't
sure that this mail service supported attachments.
On that previous e-mail I also mentioned what else was involved.
Please use it as a reference to those, and also include the relevant
earlier portions of that thread.

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.
The Windows Binaries (including VAXStation I and VAXStation II) are
now available at:
https://github.com/simh/Win32-Development-Binaries
Download the latest zip file.
Hello!
Nice to know Mark. Any suggestions for implementing it on a
Raspberry Pi system w/ 512MB of memory?
I don't see any reason it wouldn't work as long as you've got the
right SDL
development pieces available.
I did get the code outside of your screen idea to build properly.
I'm not sure what this sentence means.... what does "code outside
of your
screen idea" mean?
- Mark
Hello!
Oh sorry. I meant everything contained within the entire SIMH
retrieval except for the screen presentation method.
I think you are trying to say that all simulators except the MicroVAX I
(VAXStation I) and MicroVAX II (VAXStation II) built. OK, that is expected.
Numerous folks are running the latest code on Raspberry Pi systems. The
QVSS video on the MicroVAX I and MicroVAX II simulators was just merged
into the code base last week.
If you can't get the MicroVAX I and MicroVAX II to build, I'm going to need
more information to help. Please create an issue at
https://github.com/simh/simh/issues to record the problem and to contain
the details of chasing this down to a solution.
Please Include the output produced when you attempted to build these
simulators.
Thanks.
- Mark
Hello!
That's just it Mark. After using the git pull <repository name> command to
pull everything into the source directory I chose, I then entered the created
one, examined everything briefly, and then entered the command make and
off it went.
I first made the BIN directory, and then did that. I did need to build the Altair
ones out of sequence however. Also the Nova one as well. I did not make
the ones for the older IBM machines or the other simulators that I wasn't
familiar with.
I found that the screen thing needed the SDL library and I wasn't ready to
massage the repositories that make up Debian on Raspberry Pi to find that
one so I let wait.
My only complaint is that when I ran the vax simulation to confirm that was
all working, it then told me that the IDLE function was disabled, that was
when I asked it about the devices.
Hi Gregg,
Nothing in the new codebase should have changed idle behavior (or availability) for any simulator.
Please provide the output of "SHOW VERSION" in the simulator which isn't behaving as you want.
The complete output produced when the simulator was built will also be useful.
- Mark
Hello!
Coming up soon Mark. Several days ago I reconfigured my Raspberry Pi
to reflect using the most recent and updated release of Debian on the
thing, and containing the materials for our concerns. (That meant I
ran the regular tools for Debian to update things on it.)
And as it happens I also earlier did a fresh pull from your Git
repository and built everything fresh. Then the system told me that it
was as I related earlier.
I'm not sure if the mail list can support attachments so when I get
everything ready I'll create a new thread and provide details as to
where everything is available.

Oh, by the way, now that you mention SG1... That node _used_ to be my backup link to Hecnet using the multinet DECNET-over-IP thing. My primary link used to be GORVAX, but right now ALL my links go thru SG1. My box still tries to set up the link to GORVAX, but the IP address I'm using seems to be dead...

Ok. Interesting. So now you seem to have a connection through KUHAVX, looking from MIM. The direct link does not seem to be active, even though I enabled it again on my side.
But when I disabled it, I could not reach you. So, did you enable some other link as well, or did you already have a second one, which was also non-functional perhaps?

CHIMPY:: VT100 (well VT220 if you have it) Tetris challenge relaunched!
Last year's winner never claimed his price, my suspicions being that he didn't trust banker's drafts from obscure countries like the United King of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
So this year the price has not only been increased in total monetary value, but it is issued in CASH. That's right, the winner will get LL 25,000 (TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND LEBANESE POUNDS), a reliable currency issued by a known entity*, unlike the RBS Group.
So get your VT220 client out, telnet to CHIMPY.SAMPSA.COM, and log in as TETRIS.
We will be posting more or less frequent updates about the state of play.

Yeah, I saw it too. It stopped when I started thinking about doing
something about it. As a part of that thinking, I restarted
the bridge
at my end to see some information. For some reason that got
things in
order. Possible some pollution of the hop cache in my
bridge? I don't
know, and I can't examine it after the restart. Oh well.
We'll see if
it reappears, or if someone else knows of some reason for it...
Well, it has continued every 15 seconds for more than a day.
I've turned off the bridge to Steve Davidson for now. Steve,
please contact me.
Nothing has changed here - I have not been around to play. In any event
I have stopped, and rebooted the bridge and, SG1:: is rebooting - just
in case.

If it is following the DECnet standards, it should send out a System ID hello once per 10mins which should help you identifying the originator and its physical MAC address.

Hello!
It certainly could be. After all I've got nothing working there. What
is the nature of the problem?

.
That's a SysID message (MOP Console is for SysID, Request Counters, etc.) And packet code 07 (byte at offset 16) is Sysid.
The source address is clearly a bug. From the packet capture it looks like a VMS system -- amazing that VMS would screw up that badly.
