[Simh] Question about changing the simulator from a VAXserver 3900 to a MicroVAX 3900

[norman lastovica]

Within  <http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/simh_faq.pdf>
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/pdf/simh_faq.pdf ( SIMH FAQ 07-Sep-2005) there
is an example of how to change the firmware to indicate that the emulated
system is a microvax (vs a vaxserver) as follows:


4.6 How do I change the simulator from a VAXserver 3900 to a MicroVAX 3900? 


The system type is controlled by a "magic byte" in the CPU's boot ROM. By
default, the system type is a VAXserver 3900. To change the type to a
MicroVAX 3900, patch the boot ROM as follows: 

sim> set ptr ena 

sim> att ptr ka655x.bin 

sim> ie ptr 4 

4: 2 1 

sim> det ptr 

and reboot the simulated VAX.

 

With 3.8-1 this sequence doesn't work.  Is there a new way of doing this?

 

Thanks!
