Meanwhile, a while back it was no problem to build the current codebase with the ADK. I haven't tried in a few years, but there it s no reason it shouldn't still work.</pre>

<div>I ended up with a spare Kindle Touch and didn't need an ebook reader, so I decided it might make a nice platform for SIMH. After jailbreaking and rooting the Kindle, it's just Linux (and X11 for the Kindle interface) so cross-compiling SIMH was easy.
Networking over wifi obviously doesn't work (as recently discussed here) but networking over USB does, so it's tethered to a server for connection sharing. The performance is pretty good for such a small device. It's about equivalent to a real VAX 4000/200,
so approximately 5 VUP. Certainly more than fast enough for 4.2BSD on a simulated 11/780! Next step is to get some sort of console working - right now there's no way that I have found to display console output on the screen.<span><font color="#888888"><br>

Oh, somebody made SIMH a paid app? That's no fun... In theory it should be easy enough to cross-compile binaries using the Android NDK. I'll look into it at some point when I have a little bit of time. Of course networking isn't going to work over wireless,
but I suppose there's still plenty to do without it.<br>
