Hi Bill
Ok since I have been told the alpha simh emulator isn't booting yet. I
guess I have two questions:
o does anyone know when it should be complete or what's going on? Maybe I
should check the main page or something.
I suspect there is no activity.
o And two, is there any emulators that can be used until then? Something to
run openVMS on.
There are at least three commercial Alpha emulators, and two of those have
free versions which run under Windows:
* Charon-AXP
* FreeAXP
They both restrict the emulated system RAM and disk configuration but are
enough to run OpenVMS. (The paid-for versions are somewhat more realistic
in the configuration of the emulated hardware.)
The third one is "vtAlpha" made by AVTware. I don't think they have a free
version. Unlike the other two, vtAlpha does not require a full Windows or
Linix host operating system; instead, it has basic Linux kernel which boots
the x86-84 CPU and starts the emulator.
Regards,
Jeremy Begg
