How much heat does it output though? :p
It only feels like a *small* hair dryer. ;) I don't even think too
much about running little 1U machines, though. You'll understand when
you come to visit.
You're gonna love the es40 sitting in the living room waiting
patiently for you in the winter. ;! She'll definitely keep a room
warm. You get the one with two drive cages, too. Plus! FibreChannel
cards!
Schweet!

I started to, but now I have to go install the pcap libraries. I'll
get back to it tomorrow.
On my alpha or a simulator?
I'm doing it on one of *my* Alphas.
Ah. Which model alpha? ;)
I'm doing it on AXPEE, which is a DS10L.
Ah. That'd be more fun and less cheat-like than using an es40 to run simh. ;)

Well ok, I take that back. I might actually try to boot OS/8

Probably. Try the Altair emulator and see how quickly you can
overflow by doing multiplication. ;)

Also, while you're here: update your tunnel to connect to whatever
gewt.ath.cx resolves to please. I haven't learned enough about IOS
scripting to automate a way to periodically see if my IP changed. If
I figure out if statements and how to handle exit status of ping, I
can do that part easy.
Done.
Thanks.

Yes, that's SIMH running *on* VMS.
Binaries are here, currently only for VAX, still working on alpha,
feel free to download:
ebola::disk$user:[decnet.simh.vax]
Note that there's no network support. Network support works on Alpha,
but not VAX. Not sure why.
I just shut down an instance of RSTS/E v10.1 under SIMH on my VAX
7700. I'm currently booting VMS 7.3. =)
There's just something surreal about simulating a VAX on a VAX.
Yep. How many layers deep do you wanna go? ;)
Just a few beyond absurdly deep.
I think this is already absurdly deep. ;) I'm running this on one of
the fastest VAXen ever built, designed to support HUNDREDS of
simultaneous interactive users, and it's...well, running this particular
thing very, very slowly. ;) (still booting..)
Now, try it on your -11/750. ;)
No! Nor the 11/730 either! And DEFINITELY not the MicroVAX-I!
Probably best actually, I think everyone here would die before the simulator booted on those. ;)
