This is a snapshot of the disks that I used to build a bootable

has more information. The main image that you want is rk0.dsk

It has been a while but some things to consider: Accuracy can be improved by proper training with known ground truth data. If the typeface of the RT11 manuals is the 'DEC' standard and matches the other scanned files. You can use that for training: produce images from the DOCUMENT output along side straight ascii... There's the initial ground truth. Tesseract is the OCR engine, there is a project called octopus that provides layout and other processing using tesseracts for OCR. You can improve accuracy by using multiple OCR engines and vote on the results. Some packages that may help: tesseracts, cuneiform (another OCR engine from Russia). Unpaper is a package that can help clean up scan images before ocring. Having said all of that: for my personal stuff I use gscan2pdf under Ubuntu since it includes most of the above packages in a GUI. -ron ___ > Simh mailing list > Simh@trailing-edge.com > http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh ___ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh

[Simh] Datacraft 6024/3 (was Re: Looking for a working 9-track magtape transcription setup)
Hi: While I can't help with the tape drive issue, I can provide some background about the machine... The datacraft 6024 is the same architecture family as the Harris Hxxx machines (IIRC the 6024/3 was rebadged as H300 series). In addition to academic sites, the u.s. army corp of engineers had alot of these machines. So if software for the Hxxx series of Harris machines is found it would be useful for this class of machine as well. I was a systems programmer on Harris H800 at UNLV for several years in the early 80's so I may be able to help with software/OS questions. On the Harris, the os was called vulcan (and later VOS) that may help on search terms. -ron ======= Ron Young r...@embarqmail.com ___ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh

[Simh] what is the recommended way to config network for simh/VAX
Hi All: I recently upgraded my ubuntu box to version 10.10 and I'm trying to get openvms/vax (hobbyist 7.2 CD) to use networking with simh 3.8.2-rc2. Since I haven't played with vms for many years, I'm using Phillip Wherry's web page as an installation guide (http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html) I'm confused on what is the correct method to configure the network. I've tried several different approaches with no success (and some like bridging with taptap as described at http://www.retrocomputinggeek.com/retrowiki/SIMHNetworking/ ended up "hanging" the interface -- no fun when working remotely). Does anyone have a straight-forward procedure (config files, specific packages, etc) that is known to work? my setup is: ubuntu 10.10 (32bit) Linux 2.6.32-33-generic-pae simh-3.8.2-rc2 (from the downloaded zip file simhv38-2-rc2.zip) wired ethernet interface (eth1 ip: 192.168.2.xx/24). Downloading the taptap.c version referenced on the retrocomputinggeek.com webpage results in an empty file/blank page in browser). I tried two different versions of taptap: taptap-1.0.tar.bz2 (http://www.munted.org.uk/programming/taptap/) and taptap-modified.c (http://www.itsecuritygeek.com/files/taptap-modified.c) Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks -ron ======= Ron Young r...@embarqmail.com ___ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
