[Simh] HP2100 ptr device

[Quentin North]

Hi

Has anyone got the simh ptr device to read a "paper tape" file on the HP2100? 

I seem to be having problems getting a ptr to read when using HP Access system with the ptr attached to the IOP HP2100. Access reports the PR0 device as not ready, but all indications on the IOP HP2100 simh console are that the input file is open and the ptr is attached. This is confirmed by using lsof on the input file which shows it as opened by the HP2100 IOP process. Using simh v39-0.

All help appreciated,

Thanks
