[Simh] Operating Systems with Sources

[J Bevier]

Hello Al & Rich,

I am the person that provided Al Kossow with two moving boxes of SEL Concept/32 MPX-32 manuals some seven months ago.  One manual was the CPU reference manual, my only copy, that is needed to continue work on the SEL 32 bit simulator.  I also have sent Al the MPX OS source and lots of cross tools that run on Linux (Fedora) for the SEL machine.  I still have all of the cross development tools source to send once something is put up on bit-savers.  I spent 30 years working on Gould/SEL machines and have tried to save as much of the information as possible for others.  I wrote lots of the code for MPX while working at SEL/Gould and in the years following as a software contractor.  All of the cross tools (assembler, C-compiler, runtime library, library editor, etc.) and lots of application software.  All of this is available for the asking.  It just needs to find a new home where it can be used.

Please do. I will take the time to transcibe them. Right now I am trying to patch Burroughs MCP XV to make it into XVI. 

  I also have TOPS 10 1.4 and 4.5 transcribed, but am still cleaning up typos in them. 

  My CTSS stuff is on my github account, I am considering adding in my IBM7090 software collection as well.

   Neither have I.

   Would be interesting. I admined a Gould Concept 32 back in the late 80's always like the archetiture.
