Sure, I'll work on getting an Ultrix image in a usable state so that I<br>

Actually, thinking about it, it should be enough with just the boot file that you are using.<br>

Cool, thanks.<br>
<br>
I figured out what's going on. The standalone programs are running,<br>
they just aren't displaying any input or output after the first<br>
character is printed. So if I do this:<br>
<br>
--<br>
sim> load -o boot 0<br>
sim> run 2<br>
<br>
--<br>
and then blindly type "ra(0,0)vmunix", it boots!<br>
<br>
<br>
[...]<br>
<br>
Hmm hmm. I suspect I might know what is going on there. I'd have to<br>
test and play around some to verify, though. The console I/O on the<br>
86x0 machines are a bit special, and I wouldn't be surprised if<br>
there were some issues in simh related to that.<br>
<br>
Mark, can we get some trace of all reads and writes to the registers<br>
related to the console? (There are four logical devices addressed on<br>
the 86x0 machines through the same CSRs.)<br>
<br>
Henry, if you could get such information logged, we could probably<br>
fix this pretty fast. Or else if you could just provide me with the<br>
files, I could test this myself as well. I don't have an old Ultrix<br>
image around, though.<br>

The latest github code will no longer drop the last<br>
character output<br>
just prior to executing a HALT instruction which returns to the<br>
"sim> " prompt.<br>
<br>
Like I said above, nothing else changes though.<br>
