[Simh] New simulator - VAX-11/782

[Hans-Ulrich Hölscher]

Hi Matt,

I tried your VAX-11/782 with VMS V3.0 and it worked like a charm:

Loading boot code from internal vmb.exe

  VAX/VMS Version V3.0 26-APR-1982 16:21

%OPCOM, 28-MAY-1982 08:50:49.75, logfile initialized by operator OPA0
        logfile is SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG

        Welcome to VAX/VMS version V3.0

$ show/cpu

$ show/cpu

        Attached processor is in the IDLE state.

$ SORT/KEY:(POS:1,SIZE:3) SORT.DAT/FORMAT:(RECORD_SIZE:132) TEST12
$ stop/cpu
$ show/cpu

%SYSTEM-F-DEVOFFLINE, device is not in configuration or not available
$ @sys$system:shutdown

        System shutdown command procedure.
 ..

Only once there was a (non reproducible) problem after a STOP/CPU when the primary processor got stuck in a loop:
PC: 00002968 (BBCCI #1,E0(R10),2968) 

The VAX-11/782 sucessfully passed a 20 user UETP-Test.

Congratulations!

By the way: Is there any progress with the CI project (HSC)?

Best regards,

Ulli
