Hello all!
I've added some binaries for the current release for a few platforms.
>From the sourceforge download page:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=154308&package_id=244756
I've added releases for Linux PowerPC 32bit and 64bit machines. I've
tested them all with Qemu and my SonyPS3, and they seem fine. I did
get a linux i386 build up with libpcap support as well. I know that I
still do not have any OSX stuff, I thouht I had access to an intel
box, but that fell thru.. I'll still see if I can get access at work
somehow, or if anyone would let me ssh into a box with the universal
SDK stuff so I can build the PPC/i386 combined stuff? I don't think
it'd take longer then a day to get the stuff built.
Additionally, I've added Win32s capable binaries, and some MS-DOS
binaries for people that were trying to get a 'bare metal' type feel
to SIMH. The advantage of the Win32s stuff is that you can get remote
console support via TCP/IP. However networking is not working yet as
I'm fighting the packetdriver stuff... I'm not sure exactly how to
talk to NDIS2 stuff on Windows 3.1 and I don't know if anyone really
would care...
It's worth noting in the MS-DOS release, I've put together a 'sampler'
of ready to run OS's and enviroments. I'm thinking this may be a
'good thing' so that it's all ready to run, and it'll lower the bar as
it were to running SIMH... And via DOSBOX just about anything out
there that's modern-ish should run the binaries... For what it's
worth, there has been 30 downloads of the 3.7-3 MS-DOS binaries... I
don't know who downloaded them, but I guess there is an audience for
this stuff.
This is the readme, and sample executions of the various OS's.
Naturally if anyone want's their favorite OS included, drop me a note,
I'd be happy to start putting together some kind of package that has
documentation of how/what to do, what's unique about each platform OS
etc...

SIMH 3.8-0 for MS-DOS
This is a quick survey of SIMH 3.8-0 for MS-DOS. I've built these
exe's with Watcom C++ 11.0a.
You can break out of any of the simulators by pressing CONTROL+E.
All of the EXE's are for the MS-DOS environment, and I've built them
with DOS/4GW in mind. I will have to say that an initial test shows
that running this stuff under a DPMI server like Windows or OS/2
provides better performance then native switching.. It could be my PC,
however I'd recommend anyone who uses these EXE's to try them natively
and under Windows 3.1 at a minimum.. Because all of the MS-DOS nature
of these programs, no disk files can be over 2 gigabytes. I don't
know if that'll be an issue but of course you can have multiple
files/partitions as I recall MS-DOS 5 having a 2 gigabyte
file/partition size limit..
For anyone running this natively I have included only one copy of
dos4gw.exe in the root of the zip.

2. The Altair 8800 z80 emulator.
simh\altairz8\work
This is more full featured then the other Altair emulator, and I've
found the z80 to have more
software available. I've included the CP/M 2.2 that I found cpm2.zip

3. The HP2100 emulator.
simh\hp2100\work
I really don't know much about this machine, but I included a way to
run the basic1 program I
found online. It kind of reminds me of the ROMBASIC back 'in the
day'... It's basic with line
numbers so I know it's kind of old.. I really don't know much
otherwise about this machine.

4. The Interdata 32b emulator
simh\id32\unix6
Both of these unix's were taken from the files iu6swre.zip and
iu7swre.zip respectively.
This is research Unix v6 ported to the Interdata. I set the batch
file to tell you how to bootstrap the system, as it doesn't just
'turn on'.. Otherwise it should be comparable to Unix v6 on the
PDP-11 or any other v6. This should be the first port of Unix outside
of Western Electric. There is no halt/reboot/init 0, so I just sync
the disk a few times, and then interrupt the emulator and quit.

retrieved this OS from the archive rdosswre.tgz .

6. The PDP-11 Emulator
simh\pdp11\unixv1
This is the Unix v1 restoration project's latest disk image, that I
have retrieved from
http://code.google.com/p/unix-jun72/
Being one of the first versions of Unix it's super primitive, however
I thought it was interesting to include in this SIMH sampler to see
just how far UNIX has progressed, and just how much is the same.

about this other then the
'list' command... I retrieved this from the file os8swre.tgz .

8. The MicroVAX II Emulator
simh\vax\quas
This is the MicroVAX II emulator with a miniroot of Quasijarus 0c.
It's not exactly fully functional in this state, but it's enough to
exercise the emulator, and boot up from disk. I've configured the
NVram so it will just boot up by default. I have left the
installation tape image as quas.tap. Please note that this is *NOT*
enough for a full install, this is just a demo to check that your
system works.

9. The VAX 11/780 Emulator
simh\vax780\work
The VAX 11/780 is a bit weird in that it cannot run it's vmb.exe
directly, unlike how the
MicrovaxII can run its ROM. I've been using extracted boot code to
get the 11/780 to run. Again because I'm more familiar with Unix, I
chose to include BSD 4.2's miniroot to test functionality. This is
really only suitable for testing the emulator out. I extracted the
file bootra from the source code, and I took the miniroot file from
the tape.

The entire source is in the 'source' directory with projects for all
of the SIMH material. There are a few emulators that *WILL NOT
BUILD* for MS-DOS because of a lack of 64bit integers. I suppose if
there is any call for the missing emulators with the DJGPP compiler,
assuming that it contains 64bit integer support. It's completely
unverified on my part. I've also done some preliminary work on
networking with packet network drivers, however I am experiencing some
weird timeouts. It's hard to track down at the moment, but I'll keep
plugging away.
I don't think there is any reason why you would not be able to use
OpenWATCOM to build these files. All of the project files are in the
source\watcom directory.
