[Simh] qvss (vcb01) configuration , No known examples ?

[Henry Bent]

Here are the contents of my SIMH ini file, which may be of use as a
starting point.  I am using the microvax2 simulator, compiled locally, and
I wonder if your difficulties stem from using a different or older
executable.  What operating system and SIMH version are you using?

--
set cpu idle=ultrixold
set cpu autoboot
att nvr microvax2.nvr
set wtc time=std
set rq0 ra82
att rq0 ra82.dsk
set rq1 dis
set rq2 dis
set rq3 dis
set cr dis
set lpt dis
set rl dis
set tq0 lock
set tq1 dis
set tq2 dis
set tq3 dis
set ts dis
set tti 7b
set tto 7b
set qvss enable
set xq type=deqna
set xq MAC=08:00:2B:1C:63:00
att xq tap:tap3
set dz lines=8
set dz 7b
att dz 630
boot
