Hi Ray, You make have made the same "minor mistake" that I just did. The VAX8200 is on a branch called vax820, so you need to do "git checkout vax820" (on Linux) first. Once I did that, it built just fine. Cheers Peter Allan On Sun, 7 Apr 2019 at 11:19, Matt Burke wrote: > On 07/04/2019

The 8200 (V11) doesn't have a console processor; the console is implemented in microcode (as in the F11/J11) and some macrocode (as in MicroVAX II). That's one of the reasons the V11's microstore was 15KW, plus a 1 KW patch store, and MicroVAX II's was 1.6KW, with no patch store. (The other

Ok, I now got it. Yes, you are right about too much global data in SIMH that is not good design for multiprocessors. Tim -Original Message- From: Simh On Behalf Of Johnny Billquist Sent: Saturday, April 6, 2019 6:43 PM To: simh@trailing-edge.com Subject: Re: [Simh] VAX 8200/8250
