Re: [Simh] EXT :Re: Problems with telnet and TOPS-10

2017-04-17 Thread Ray Jewhurst 
Changing to 7b didn't change anything but using a different client and then
changing to 7b did. I am using Termux which is actually a terminal emulator
and Linux environment for Android  (no root) and it works great. I am just
getting ready to test the VAX simulator with it. Wish me luck.
Thanks

I vaguely recall that there was at least one NetBSD version that was just 
broken and hadn't been tested on any VAX (real or simulated) before it was 
'released'.

I suggest you:
 1) try the same with simh 3.9
2) try a later NetBSD release.

If you're seeing a problem which persists across several NetBSD releases, 
and/or exists in the 4.0 code but not the 3.9 code, please open an issue at 
https://github.com/simh/simh/issues

Have Fun.

You might even try setting the DZ to 7P (printable characters only).

Hello,

Try to set the DZ to 7 bit mode:

set dz 7b

Re: [Simh] DEC VT emulators on MAME

2017-04-17 Thread Armistead, Jason 
Tim

Malcolm had previously indicated that E80 was a Xicor X2804AP-45 chip.  That 
would make it a 512 byte (4096 bit arranged as 512 * 8)  EEPROM, rather than an 
NVRAM, with an access time of 450ns.

Link to datasheet 
http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/103364/XICOR/X2804A.html

This chip should be easily readable by almost any PROM/EPROM/EEPROM programmer, 
but if it's only got settings as you suspect, then hopefully the firmware would 
be able to identify a blank device and just set up defaults.

Malcolm,

Ok, thanks for let us know.  I now found video docs for VT340 (dragon system - 
vipers and adders).  Each chip hold one bitmap plane individually. VCB02 
graphics card uses the same chips. 

I misread schematics.I believe that E80 is NVRAM chip for just settings - 
512 x 8,  not 512K x 8.  Firmware is in ROM cartridge.  

E49 dump should be labelled as 236E6.bin for CG rom. 

Does anyone have a copy of CRT 9007 video controller docs for VT220 terminal?

Thanks,
Tim

I've now pulled apart a spare non-working VT340, for the ROM dumps. This 
terminal has a faulty power supply and very significant screen burn, so I 
wasn't planning on repairing it anyway.

On my board, E80 is a XICOR X2804AP-45 which is soldered in place. So I haven't 
removed it or dumped its contents.

E49 is a 27256 EPROM.  I have dumped the content of that ROM and it is now 
available here -> 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__avitech.com.au_-3Fp-3D1818=DwIGaQ=ilBQI1lupc9Y65XwNblLtw=CeQuuq99aEH_1RE1yGnGXY4AbMg6_1cjkYeJjaT-sd4=YpwywTuCsVKkSvuZSul6C6BTase_SV-J2yCTQkZVeBQ=WAvNJXtV69LsjK_LBZBMcmtmo-gwnd1OPsJy0_seTI0=
  

That page also has pictures of the VT340 internals.

Tim - I will write to you separately to arrange sending the VT340 logic board 
to you.

Malcolm.
