[Simh] Alpha under SIMH

[Zane Healy]

I’m glad you brought this up, as I was wondering the exact same thing.  I have an XP1000 myself, that I would like to retire, as it’s normally powered down due to power and cooling constraints.  The difference being, it’s a personal system, and not a business system, as such, I can’t afford expensive licenses. :-)

I’ve started looking at the VAX emulation under simh, as a way to get 24/7 access to most of my VMS data, but would prefer Alpha emulation, and access to all of my data.

We have experimented with some of the commercial emulators, but based on very positive experience with the VAX emulation under simh are wondering if the AXP EV5 emulation that is hinted at on the simh web site is available and functional?
