Jason,

Yes, I plan to do the iPDS-100 sometime in the future.  I have an 
iPDS-100 here which Richard Main modified to use 3.5-inch drives. It is 
in the queue, but behind several MDS I/II machines I am currently 
working on.

They were the white and black portable little brother of the MDS family.  We had one 
once, which we called Big Blue because of its sheer physical size.  Those MDS 
8" floppies were really something.  Going to 5 1/4 inch on the iPDS was so much 
nicer, but man, could those iPDS disk drives make some noise when the disk had an 
error and it did a track 0 recalibration of the heads.  You *KNEW* that you had a 
bad disk !!!  Fun times ...

All,

I corrected the SWTP-6800 simulator so it will now boot correctly.  The problem 
with the 'E' command will take more time. I am currently in the middle of 
rewriting the Intel Microprocessor Development Systems (MDS-i and II) 
simulators.

I have two machines, one with Win7, the other Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

On both OS's, after starting the sim, then attempting "D" (boot), I get :

The current version of SIMH is on the GitHub site.

The error with the SIMH "E" command still occurs with this version.
I will look into it when I review the simulators in the next week or so.

Mike,

This is an old build of the simulator and an even older version of the 
run-time package.  The current support package is on my web site at:


www.nj7p.org/Computers/work/run-work_v00d.7z

The current version of SIMH is on the GitHub site.

This version logs on as follows:
