Pre-Phase-IV using a device SIMH doesn't have emulation support for? ;) I can upload this disk image if anyone wants it. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments Hello! Cory, yet another strange suggestion, what was your original host for your image? Obviously SIMH for VAX but what was it running on? I was thinking of your project a while back of running SIMH for VAX on an RPI itself wearing a not updated release of Linux for it, and then connected via a serial physical connection to one of your terminals. The idea was to have one of those serial ports as a console, the other as a means of connecting the image to the real world. For a clue please read "Cuckoo's Egg" by Cliff Stoll, he describes how his systems were all connected. And from the UCB campus to the Internet. If it works, then okay. If not, then blame Dave. Outside of the rioting drunken Yetis, he needs more things to worry about. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
