<TITLE>Not Responding to Console on Raspberry Pi</TITLE>

<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-gb"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I built SIMH on the Raspberry Pi (Debian) and have been running it fairly successfully. Recently though it has stopped responding to the console, for no reason I can determine. After it has booted VMS (this is the VAX 780 emulation) I press enter to get the login prompt and nothing happens. If I press CTRL-E it halts the emulation, but fails to respond to any further key presses at the sim> prompt. If I change the console to be telnet then I can use telnet to log in to the machine etc, perfectly normally. This is really puzzling, has anyone ever seen something like this?</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-gb"></SPAN></P>
