[Simh] VAXstation 4000 Model 60

[Jeremy Begg]

Hi,

I am in the final stages of setting up SIMH to emulate a VAXstation 4000
Model 60.  When it's complete I'll do a write-up for others who may be
interested.

I have a startup script configured in Ubuntu to start the simulator, a
SIMH .ini file to set up the simulated system, and have a populated NVR
file which contains the boot-time console options (boot device, flags and
'FBOOT' to bypass most of the self tests).

The simulator boots and runs my VMS 7.3 environment and so far is running
well, with one oddity that I've noticed (in the 24 hours I've had it
running) ... it's logging a MEMORY ERROR every minute.  ANAL/ERROR in VMS
shows this:

 HARD ERROR   KA46

                                       SPECIO: NORMAL IO ADDR

The details -- other than the timestamp -- are identical in every errorlog
entry.  Is this a known problem in the VAXstation 4000 simulator?

Startup log follows.

Thanks,
