Did I mention it's been a long time since I've used SIMH, and I've only used if for the PDP-10 and PDP-11 emulators.

At the moment, Ethernet is the only supported real device. On 5 Jun 2010, at 02:33, Sampsa Laine wrote: I don't think it has any support for encryption built in per se, AFAIK. As for pointing it at a block device on a UNIX system instead of a file, I think that _might_ work. Never tried it though. Sampsa On 5 Jun 2010, at 02:31, Zane H.
