[Simh] So far unnamed project

Greetings all I am a total computer history buff. I have only used "real" PCs and Macs, but through simulation and emulation I have grown to be enamored with many different types of old computers especially DECs. I would love to spread my enthusiasm to the younger generation and I feel that Sim

Ray, I’m not of that older generation myself, but this project is something I’d definitely endorse. Part of the problem, I think, is that a lot of these operating systems aren’t as interesting without applications to layer on top. Figuring out what would be worth configuring is a task in itself

Most of what I've worked with on my own so far is the PDP-11 and the VAX since they are the closest to what I already know. I would like to learn more about the other systems like the PDP-10 and the 18-bit PDPs. I've never tried either TOPS10 or 20 because I don't know where to begin. On May 31, 20

I’d love a preconfigured TOPS-10/20 machine, especially if it has DECNET configured on it as well. Same for RSX-11M+ (or any OS for PDP-11 that supports DCL). Sampsa > On 31 May 2016, at 20:09, Ray Jewhurst wrote: > > Most of what I've worked with on my own so far is the PDP-11 and the VAX
