There is no inpsmb. simh 3.9 doesn't accept the "continue" option.

      Exactly. The only thing that simh adds to this process is the "set cr 
      reset" command to prompt the card reader (driver?).

      So on simh, the flow control would be:

       1. get your "card deck" in a file on the host
       2. boot simh with the cr device attached to said file
       3. boot your VAX
       4. log in, then CTRL/E out to the simh prompt, and issue "set cr reset"
       5. issue "continue" to the simh prompt to resume the VAX
       6. observe that your job has run, and the file (if not deleted, which
          is the default) is now a DCL file in your default login directory,
          default name is "INPBATCH.COM". Name may be overridden by the /NAME
          qualifier on the job card.

      /Wilm


      OK here's what I tried. Issuing "continue" in simg doesn't work. simh> "continue" just gives an error.

      ./vax
      lo -r ka655x.bin
      set cpu 64m
      set cpu idle=vms
      set rq0 ra92
      at rq0 vms
      at nvr r
      set cr autoeof
      at -a cr list "name of licnese PAKs
      set cr translation=029
      b cpu
      Then I use "b dua0" no problems
      login as system and enter password. No problems
      ^E
      simh> 
      here I enter "set cr reset"
      and at simh>
      I enter "continue" and get an error. <shrug>
