Subject: Re: [Simh] Way out idea for simh
I think this is missing the actual problem. If a simh supported machine has
some kind of (paper/magnetic) tape oder disk device, they are almost always
physical files on the host system which can be attached/detached by simh
console commands.
So if there was an interface so that the emulated computer could issue console
commands this would IMHO actually be more usefull than access to the file
system.
You mean like a serial line? Something one could also pass data over? ;-)
And for some special cases with IBM
iron, there were native EBCDIC converters.
There are actually a lot of systems that don't use ASCII, IBM1130, IBM1620,
GE-600 Honeywell H-200 series, IBM1401...
Indeed. And if there is a KERMIT implementation for the system, it will
also do this translation for you...
