[Simh] PAK for VAX P.S.I.

[Mark Pizzolato]

Let's say you had the PAK(s).

You could then install the software.  Then what?

That software connected through some hardware to something outside.  What hardware was this and what did it connect to?  I'm pretty sure that the hardware in question isn't simulated primarily due to the fact that anything it could connect to doesn't exist today....

A simulated VAX Cluster can easily be constructed and it can talk to the outside world via TCP/IP via UCX or MultiNet.

Hi folks,

Back in the day (mid to late 1980s), I was the system manager of a VAXcluster. I have been recreating the experience using simh, which I find to be excellent. My system manager days finished with VMS 5.5-2, although I also have emulated systems running both earlier and later versions of VMS.

One of my projects is to build a virtual version of the cluster that I used to manage. I have PAKs though the hobbyist programme for most of the software that we used, but these do not include PAKs for VAX P.S.I. nor P.S.I.-Access. We had software that used these products to access the outside world.

I do have the PSI/PSI-Access software on CDs, just not the PAKs.

I have a vague memory of seeing a message somewhere saying that it was possible to get PAKs for these products. Does anyone know how to do this?

Cheers

Peter Allan
