[Simh] AT&T 3B2 Emulator

[Tim Stark]

Finally!! I was looking for 3B2 emulator in long time.  At Gallaudet University, I took Unix/C course and first learned how to write C programs on 3B2 minicomputer at CS lab.

After several years in the making and lots and lots of reverse
engineering, I'm happy to announce that the AT&T 3B2/400 emulator now
boots and runs multi-user SVR3 UNIX.

 

Awesome!

You asked for it. :)

*	This version of Unix hasn't ever been liberally-licensed, has it? The last one I recall being so released was UNIX V7.
*	"SVR3 is very primitive." Naaah. It's almost modern. UNIX V5 is primitive, and OS/8 for the PDP-8 is very primitive. "Modern" would be 4.3BSD or newer. :)
*	"Don't even expect man pages." That must be a matter of packaging. The famous "ancient Unix V6" PDP-11 distribution contains man pages.
*	"...you have to type the pound / hash symbol (#). Really." That must be a default stty setting issue. I used 3B1s briefly back in the day, and I don't recall any gymnastics required to delete a character. (I have a dead 3B1 mainboard nailed to the wall. I call it a 3B0. ;) )
