[Simh] HP3000 Simulator

[Robert W.Mills]

Hi David,

I have on & off played with your simulator since details of it were
posted on the HP3000-L mailing list in 2016. I now have more time to
spend seriously trying it out. have some questions for you.

1) I have several Store-To-Disc files that the simulator won't access.
It just hangs after displaying that the volume has been mounted. The
only way kill it is by doing a SHUTDOWN. I have included a copy of the
console log after my signature.

2) I am running the simulator on Linux Mint 18.3 and using the GNOME
Terminal. Even though the .sim script I am using contains a "set console
DEL=177" the delete key does not work.

3) Is it possible to get an MPE V/E FOS tape image. I have 10 of the
Interex Contributed Software Library (CSL/3000) available but quite a
few of the contributions won't work with V/R due to system table changes.

Best regards & Happy New Year,
Robert W.Mills
