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

[James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello Henry ,  My more recent post begs to wait till we can figure out 
how to get my SIMH to 'boot cpu' , then I can try diagnosing qvss further .

 	Thank you for your config below .  I did find out that with only either 
of 'set qvss enable' or 'set cpu model=vaxstation' no more segmentation faults .

 	I will dig into it some more after the work on the 'file open error' .
