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! I am impressed. What device is this that SIMH does not emulate? It might emulate all I'd need. I'm not sure what networking on VMS this old would have been like. I just need to find documentation of VAX/VMS 1.50. ;) Well... This is pre-ethernet and pre-DECnet phase IV... Serial ports then? Or DMC, or something similar...? Hmm. I need to find the DECnet kit so I can figure out what devices it supports. Johnny -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments Hello! Okay...
