Trivia question: what are the major differences between programming the DU11 and the DUV11? At least from the handbook descriptions, it sounds like the DUV11's isochronous (= async?) mode works and the DU11's doesn't, but that's the only difference I can see and I don't see how it matters for DDCMP use. And yet, DECnet/RSX has different names for them, as if it's using separate drivers for each. John Wilson D Bit

DMC11 in next simh version... looks nice, and question about TOPS-10

by jg＠jordi.guillaumes.name

El 03/01/2013, a les 16:28, Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com> va escriure: Those symbols have to be getting defined somewhere. I am unfamiliar with the TOPS-10 monitor build procedure; did you do the equivalent of a "make clean" first? Well, I deleted the MONGEN.MIC file, ran a whole MONGEN and then did the compile and link as per installation manual. The only stupid thing I noticed is I was compiling (not linking in) the DTEPRM.MAC source, which is KL specific. Jordi Guillaumes i Pons jg at jordi.guillaumes.name HECnet: BITXOV::JGUILLAUMES

A quick Google search seems to confirm that both KMC and DMR are very similar to DMC and software compatible with it. DMR should be a DMC enhancement/replacement. The KMC11 is a user programmable microcontroller that's the basis of the DMC11. But it's not a compatible replacement. Instead, the KMC was used as a co-processor to drive a "dumb interface" like the DUP11. So no, if you have a DMC or DMR, you do *not* call for KMC/DUP support in your monitor. paul

Raspberry PI and PDP-11 emulation via SIMH

Add the VDE stuff first... I can't tell the full list of packages now. But it is worth to have!

2.11BSD and E11

I couldn't find the tape image you're using. I did find what purports to be an RP06 image but it's actually slightly too small for that, so E11 auto-detects it as an RP05 and half of it vanishes. It boots up fine when the type is forced with "MOUNT DB: 211BSD /RP06". Ah. That would make sense. Buuuut, Massbus disks are disabled in the current E11 Demo versions. At this point that's an oversight (all but the RP07 are within the Demo version's size limit) so I'll uncripple that for the next release. I can't remember the last time anyone wanted to use the Massbus emulations! Otherwise I would have noticed and fixed this ages ago. Meanwhile if you can install onto an MSCP disk then life will be easy. Okay cool, thanks! I'll stage it on to an MSCP disk using simh and then copy the image over and see if that helps any. ;) Thanks for pointing this out!
