[Simh] Problem booting RSX11M on pdp11 (halt at loc 0)

[Mike Stramba]

Phil,

I assume this is the site ? :

http://home.earthlink.net/~n1be/pdp11/PDP11.html

I'm downloading it now will try it on my Win7 laptop.

Have tried / been successful running it on a "native" O.S (not under
VmWare or VirtualBox ?)

I.e  is the point to try to get it running under VmWare / Vbox .. or
just it running period ? ;)

Mike
